The image projection apparatus that projects an image includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information related to a vehicle; an image projection unit that projects an image based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit; and imaging means that acquires an image outside the vehicle, the image projection unit projects light in a wavelength band centered on a wavelength of 1.4 μm and the imaging means provides the information related to the vehicle by imaging an image projected based on the light in the wavelength band centered on the wavelength of 1.4 μm.

Provided are a lamp apparatus of a vehicle and a control method thereof. The lamp apparatus includes: a first integrated lamp installed at either the front or rear of a vehicle and having a plurality of lamps, one or more of which being turned on according to a lighting mode; a second integrated lamp installed at a position different from the installation position of the first integrated lamp and having a plurality of lamps, one or more of which being turned on; a travel direction input unit that receives a travel direction; a driving signal input unit that receives driving signals for turning on and off the lamps; and a lamp control unit that receives the travel direction to set the lighting modes of the first and second integrated lamps, and drives one or more of the plurality of lamps included in each of them.

A working vehicle is capable of autonomously traveling on a target traveling route and appropriately performing illumination during autonomous traveling to enable an operator to reliably confirm the presence of obstacles or the like on the target traveling route. The working vehicle includes a traveling body to autonomously travel on the target traveling route, illumination lamps located on the traveling body to respectively illuminate different directions, and a controller to change a control relating to a way of turning on the illumination lamps during the autonomously traveling.

An illumination system for a vehicle includes a headlight configured to emit a light beam along an optical path and into an environment. The illumination system includes an optical element having a body comprising four sides. The optical element is positioned along the optical path and configured to redirect the light beam. The illumination system includes a front lens positioned along the optical path and configured to receive the light beam from the optical element and collimate the light beam as the light beam passes into the environment. The optical element is configured to move around an optical element axis to translate the light beam relative to an azimuth plane of the environment.

A road surface condition viewing apparatus includes an illuminator provided on front side of a vehicle. The illuminator is configured to apply dot-shaped pieces of projection light to a road surface in a vehicle traveling direction. The dot-shaped pieces of projection light are arranged at predetermined intervals and visually recognizable by a driver who drives the vehicle.

A driving assist system installed on a vehicle includes a controller.
