A motorcycle includes a pair of left and right front forks, a headlight, cover members (side cowls and light covers), and camera units. A front wheel is rotatably attached to the pair of left and right front forks. The headlight irradiates a forward side. The cover members each having an internal space are disposed at least laterally outside the pair of left and right front forks in a front view. The camera units detect the forward side by acquiring visible light which is one kind of electromagnetic waves (by acquiring images). In a front view, the camera units are disposed below the headlight and laterally outside the pair of left and right front forks. The camera units are disposed in the internal spaces of the cover members.

An adaptive illuminating headlight is provided. The adaptive illuminating headlight includes a stator structure, a rotor structure, a driver, a light emitting unit, an optical assembly, and a control unit, and is installed on a vehicle for use. The rotor structure is configured to rotate relative to the stator structure and has a carrying surface. The driver is arranged between the stator structure and the rotor structure to drive the rotor structure. The light emitting unit is arranged on the carrying surface to emit an illumination light beam. The optical assembly is configured to allow the illumination light beam to project outwardly so as to produce an illumination pattern. The control unit is configured to control the driver to operate according to a posture change of a vehicle body, such that the light emitting unit is driven by the rotor structure to rotate through a predetermined angle.

A system for navigating a host vehicle may include memory and at least one processor configured to receive a plurality of images acquired by a camera onboard the host vehicle; generate, based on analysis of the plurality of images, a road geometry model for a segment of road forward of the host vehicle; determine, based on analysis of at least one of the plurality of images, one or more indicators of an orientation of the host vehicle; and generate, based on the one or more indicators of orientation of the host vehicle and the road geometry model for the segment of road forward of the host vehicle, one or more output signals configured to cause a change in a pointing direction of a movable headlight onboard the host vehicle.

An aircraft lamp includes a variable lamp unit in which an irradiation direction of light by a light source changes; a behavior detection unit that detects behavior of an airframe; and a controller that controls the irradiation direction of the light by the variable lamp unit based on a detection result of the behavior of the airframe.

A headlight module includes: a light source for emitting light; a condensing optical element for concentrating the light; and an optical element including an incident surface for receiving the concentrated light, a reflecting surface for reflecting the received light, and an emitting surface for emitting the reflected light. The condensing optical element changes a divergence angle of the light to form a light distribution pattern. The reflected light and light that enters the optical element and is not reflected by the reflecting surface are superposed on a plane including a point located at a focal position of the emitting surface in a direction of an optical axis of the emitting surface and being perpendicular to the optical axis, thereby forming a high luminous intensity region in the light distribution pattern on the plane. The emitting surface has positive refractive power and projects the light distribution pattern formed on the plane.

A motor vehicle includes headlamps having a plurality of LED light sources, one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions. One or more processors executing the instructions are enabled to receive first data, including at least map data, indicating a road curvature upcoming along a road on which the motor vehicle is traveling. The processors are also enabled to determine a light change, the change adapting a light pattern of the headlamps in at least one of color, intensity or spatial distribution to increase light in a direction of the road curvature ahead of the motor vehicle and shaping light based at least in part on the road curvature. The processors are further enabled to control at least a first plurality of the LED light sources to provide light based at least in part on the determined light change and prior to the motor vehicle reaching the road curvature.

A vehicle lamp is provided on a vehicle capable of traveling around a corner by inclining a vehicle body in a turning direction. The vehicle lamp includes a headlamp mounted on a front portion of the vehicle, and a combination lamp disposed on a vehicle body cover in a region adjacent to the headlamp so as to be visible from the front of the vehicle. The combination lamp includes a plurality of light emitting segments. Depending on arrangement locations, the light emitting segments differ in at least one of the shape of, the size of, the color of, and a distance between the light emitting segments.

A headlamp control device configured to control a headlamp which illuminates forward of a vehicle, is provided. The device includes a visibility detector configured to detect visibility of a road state forward of the vehicle, and a headlamp controlling module configured to control brightness of the headlamp. The headlamp controlling module is able to adjust light emitted from the headlamp so that a brightness gradient that is a difference of brightness of a part distant from the vehicle and brightness of a part closer to the vehicle is changed. When a deterioration in the visibility is detected, the headlamp controlling module executes a brightness adjusting control in which the brightness gradient is increased by making the brightness of the part closer to the vehicle higher than the brightness of the part distant from the vehicle, as compared with the brightness gradient when the deterioration in the visibility is not detected.
