LEVELING APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE HEADLAMP
A leveling apparatus for a vehicle headlamp includes: a housing disposed at a front side of a vehicle; a light source module disposed in the housing to emit light; a tilting sensor disposed in the housing to detect an inclination degree of a road; a tilting means to tilt the light source module and the tilting sensor together; and a controller. The controller receives a signal detected by the tilting sensor and controls the tilting means based on the inclination degree of the road to adjust a light emission angle of the light source module. In addition, the tilting sensor operates until a sensed output of the tilting sensor reaches a normal range.

Vehicles With Automatic Headlight Alignment
A vehicle may have lights such as headlights. The lights may be moved using a positioner. Control circuitry in the vehicle may use sensor circuitry to monitor the environment surrounding the vehicle. The sensor circuitry may include one or more sensors such as a lidar sensor, radar sensor, image sensor, and/or other sensors to measure the shape of a surface in front of the vehicle and the location of the surface relative to the vehicle. These sensors and/or other sensors in the sensor circuitry also measure headlight illumination on the surface. Based on the known shape of the surface in front of the vehicle and the distance of the surface from the vehicle, the control circuitry can predict where a headlight should be aimed on the surface. By comparing predictions of headlight illumination on the surface to measurements of headlight illumination on the surface, the vehicle can determine how to move the headlight with the positioner to align the headlight.

Horizontal lighting pattern adjustment system for a vehicle headlight
A headlight horizontal lighting pattern adjustment system includes an inclination angle sensor connected to a vehicle to sense an inclination angle value of the vehicle. A processing unit receives the inclination angle value and processes the inclination angle value into a driving value. A driving module drives a lighting device. The driving module commands the driving device to driving and rotate the lighting device according the driving value. The headlight horizontal lighting pattern adjustment system is equipped to a motorbike or an electric motorbike. When the motorbike turns and tilt, the processing unit adjusts the light of the lighting device by the driving module and the driving device to eliminate dark corners in the dark zone and maintains the full scale of light pattern to enhance safety to all the road users.

Headlamp and method for operating same comprising a position and acceleration sensor and a control unit arranged in or directly on the headlamp
A vehicle lighting device includes at least one headlight, a position and/or acceleration sensor, and a control unit for adjusting a light/dark boundary of the headlight. Pitch movements of the vehicle can be detected by the position and/or acceleration sensor, and a change in the light/dark boundary due to the respective pitch movement can be compensated for by the control unit. The position and/or acceleration sensor and the control unit are arranged in the headlight or directly on the headlight.
