Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2013257888
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a lighting system and method for detecting obstacles or presence for driver assistance systems.
The present application adds detection capabilities to perceive the presence and/or measure the velocity of obstacles such as automobiles, trucks, pedestrian and other users, to vehicle lighting modules as headlamp, tail lamps, center high mount stop lamp (CHMSL) and interior lighting to name a few, for driver assistance applications like adaptive cruise control, blind spot and pre-crash assist. For example, a light emitting diode (LED) can be used as a lighting source for illumination as a first function and also pulsed or modulated as a lighting source for a detection sub-system as a second function.
