Device and method for securing a display screen arrangement for a vehicle roof, and vehicle roof for a motor vehicle
A device for securing a display for a vehicle roof having a main slider and an adjustment slider. Each can be coupled to the display and configured for pivoting the display open and closed and for moving it. The device may have a lever arrangement coupled to the main slider and adjustment slider for display open-and closed pivoting and movement. The device also has a locking unit having a locking element coupled to the adjustment slider pivotable relative to the adjustment slider, and which cooperates with a locking pin arranged on the lever arrangement, so that an open position of the locking element in which the locking element is spaced from the locking pin, and a closed position of the locking element in which the locking element retains the locking pin, can be set, and the display can be transferred from a first open-pivoted state into a second closed-pivoted state.
PROJECTOR CONTROL APPARATUS, PROJECTOR CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
Provided are an apparatus and a method for analyzing a state of a vehicle occupant and performing illumination and image output control by a projector in units of a screen sectioned area of a vehicle ceiling, in accordance with an analysis result. There is provided a data processing unit configured to execute state analysis of an occupant of a vehicle and execute output control of a projector in accordance with an occupant analysis result. The data processing unit performs projector control of outputting illumination light having luminance determined in accordance with the occupant analysis result, in units of a sectioned area of a screen of a vehicle ceiling on which projector output light is outputted. The data processing unit analyzes a state of an occupant on the basis of a camera-captured image, and outputs illumination light having luminance determined in accordance with an occupant state, in units of a screen sectioned area above each occupant.
Roof Module for a Motor Vehicle, Comprising a Sensor Module Having a Housing
A motor vehicle, in particular for a passenger car, having a support structure, a roof skin, which is disposed on the support structure, and at least one sensor module having at least one environment sensor for detecting a vehicle environment and having at least one housing for accommodating the environment sensor. The housing of the sensor module is disposed on the support structure and has a construction which collapses or is deformed when defined external forces are applied such that deformation forces, which are exerted by the sensor module on the support structure or on another roof module component, are reduced.
FORWARD FACING REAR VEHICLE VIDEO SYSTEM
Systems and methods for viewing, observing, and/or monitoring a second row of seats in a vehicle are provided. A camera can be disposed in the second row of seats, near the rear of the vehicle, and can be forward-facing or generally forward-facing. The camera can provide a live video feed to a display located on the instrument panel in the front row of the vehicle.
Luggage nets in the vehicle roof of road construction machines
The present disclosure refers to a road construction machine in the form of a road finisher or a feeder vehicle with a chassis and a driver's cab with a vehicle roof. According to the disclosure, one or more luggage nets are attached to the vehicle roof of the road construction machine.
INTEGRATED MODULAR OVERHEAD CONSOLE SYSTEM
One or more embodiments described herein relate to a modular multifunctional system for a vehicle, and more specifically, to a versatile sensor system integrated into a modular overhead console. Multiple systems and functions are consolidated into particular overhead units to allow for increase space inside a vehicle, decreased design restrictions, and the use of a single type of modular overhead console in multiple vehicle types and models.
AUDIO SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE
A roof of a vehicle includes a panel, and at least one audio device selected from the loudspeakers and the actuators, and when the at least one audio device is an actuator, it is located on the panel, the panel being capable of vibrating.
Display Device, Vehicle and Method for Operating a Display Device
A display device for the interior of a vehicle includes: (i) a display unit, which is designed for optical display of information and has a display element for this purpose and which can be or is arranged in a longitudinal extension direction of the vehicle behind a front row of seats, preferably on a roof lining of the vehicle; (ii) a movement unit, which is designed to move the display unit, in particular with the display element pivoted away from the roof lining of the vehicle, in the longitudinal extension direction, in particular controllably, between various working positions and/or to hold the display unit in a given working position; and (iii) a control unit which is designed to control the movement unit in such a way that the display unit and the display element are arranged at a predetermined first distance or first distance range from an element of the front row of seats.
Roof panel assembly for a vehicle and a projector device for use in such roof panel assembly
A roof panel assembly for use in a roof of a vehicle comprises at least one roof panel, providing a first interior surface configured to be directed to an interior space of the vehicle and a second interior surface configured to be directed to the interior space of the vehicle. The roof panel assembly further comprises a support beam arranged between the first interior surface and the second interior surface and a projector device arranged on the support beam. The projector device is configured to project a light image on at least one of the first interior surface and the second interior surface.
ATTACHMENT STRUCTURE OF VEHICULAR MODULE TO CEILING OF VEHICLE CABIN
An attachment structure of a vehicular module to a ceiling of a vehicle cabin of a vehicle includes a design member. The design member is configured to attach, to the ceiling, the module including an in-cabin sensor configured to perform detection in the vehicle cabin, and includes a securing portion configured to be secured to a vehicle-body ceiling member of the vehicle or an interior ceiling member disposed on a vehicle cabin side of the vehicle-body ceiling member, a downward protrusion protruding downward from the securing portion, and a design constituent extending from the downward protrusion and covering the securing portion. In an accommodating space defined between the downward protrusion and the design constituent, the in-cabin sensor is supported by the design member in such a manner that, above the accommodating space, a gap is left between the in-cabin sensor and the vehicle-body ceiling member or the interior ceiling member.
