AI Technical Summary
Existing vehicle headlights struggle to provide sufficient visibility and safety during the day, especially in conditions with poor visibility such as intersections, curves, and overtaking lanes, and there is a need for a solution that can effectively compete with sunlight and enhance warning capabilities.
A strong, directional light system is used to illuminate the ground ahead, which includes multiple spots arranged in two vertically, and the ground, alerting drivers to their vehicle, and the vehicle emits a straight-line light onto the ground, using multiple spots to define boundaries and adjust brightness based on surroundings, with the option of red or blue light to enhance visibility.
The system improves daytime visibility and safety by providing clear illumination and warning, even in challenging conditions, and can be adapted for bicycles and bicycles, and can be adapted for bicycles and bicycles, and can also be integrated into brake lights and tail lights for rear illumination.
Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to improving visibility in a vehicle. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0002] To provide an effect that allows a driver to know in advance of an approaching vehicle at night by having its headlights illuminate the ground, even during the day.
[0003] The strong, directional light illuminates the ground ahead like a spot.
[0004] This improves visibility and increases safety.
[0005] The vehicle emits a strong, straight-line light onto the ground, alerting drivers to their vehicle in advance, even during the day.
[0006] It provides effective warning from behind at intersections with poor visibility, on curves, and in the overtaking lane.
[0007] It is difficult to create light that can compete with sunlight, but by using multiple spots and clearly defining the boundaries, it is thought that even slight differences in illuminance can be easily recognized.
[0008] It would be best to arrange the spots in two rows along the width of the vehicle, and also in multiple rows vertically.
[0009] By making the spot smaller, the speed of your vehicle's movement can also be reflected.
[0010] The color of light is red, which is easily recognized by the human eye, but blue could also be considered if evening is important. It seems easy to detect the brightness of the surroundings and adjust the light accordingly.
[0011] It can also act as a substitute for noise. If low-noise cars become more common, it is likely to be highly effective.
[0012] It may be possible to use it as a headlight at night. Since bicycles do not have headlights to begin with, this would be very useful (including flashing red lights).
[0013] It is also possible to add the light to brake lights and tail lights to illuminate the rear, or to turn signals to illuminate the rear so that it can be seen from blind spots.
Claims
