Abstract:
An automated headlight system for vehicles replaces the high and low beam with a continuum of beam patterns, with further variable spatial distribution of intensities and color spectrum. The digital-headlight is comprised of a controller, sensors and multiple, individually-controllable light-sources modified by optical-control elements to form narrow-beams which are then combined to create the overall headlamp beam. Utilizing real-time sensor data regarding beings, objects and vehicles in the way-ahead, as well as optional information on the driver, vehicle and environment, the logical controller dynamically adapts the headlight system's illumination so as to provide vehicle operators with optimal visibility while preventing discomfort-glare from reaching the eyes oncoming traffic or pedestrians.

Claim (Index 2):
A vehicle headlight system designed to maximize the visibility of the operator of the scene ahead while automatically minimizing the light's disturbing effect on the vision of oncoming traffic, comprising:\n a headlight including more than one directional light sources aimed at different angles, the light sources having at least one of controllable light intensity and spectral light distribution, where the light source at one angle in less disturbing to oncoming traffic than the second light sources aimed at the second angle, control equipment for adjusting at least one of a light intensity and light spectrum of the directional light sources in communication with the system, one or more detectors for sensing the traffic whose vision could be disturbed in communication with the system and of passing the sensed traffic's relative location information to the system, a processor in communication with the system arranged for processing the sensed information, determining optimal use of the differently aimed light sources for maximizing the visibility of the operator while minimizing the light's disturbing effect on the vision of oncoming traffic and for directing the control equipment to adjust the directional light sources to meet the illumination requirement.
