Abstract:
A lighting control method for use in a first vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving an optical signal from a lamp of a second vehicle; identifying a pulse signal included in the optical signal; determining a position of the second vehicle relative to the first vehicle; and controlling a lamp of the first vehicle in accordance with the position of the second vehicle and the pulse signal.

Claim (Index 9):
The lighting control device according to  claim 8 , wherein the optical demodulator is arranged at each of a head end and a rear end of the first vehicle, and wherein the processor is further configured to:\n first determination sub-circuitry configured to, when the optical demodulator at the head end of the first vehicle has received a first pulse signal or a third pulse signal as the pulse signal, determine that the second vehicle is located in front of the first vehicle and runs in a direction opposite to the first vehicle; when the optical demodulator at the head end of the first vehicle has received a second pulse signal as the pulse signal, determine that the second vehicle is located in front of the first vehicle and runs in a same direction as the first vehicle; and when the optical demodulator at the rear end of the first vehicle has received the first pulse signal as the pulse signal, determine that the second vehicle is located behind the first vehicle and runs in the same direction as the first vehicle.
