Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for lighting the sides of the road during crossing situations between 2 motor vehicles when the use of high beams or headlights is made necessary by the insufficient or absent nature of natural light.
- the highway code manages the glare situation which, for each driver in a crossing situation, results from the fact that each vehicle lights the road for its own utility and not for that of the '' other driver (if not through the ancillary lights, called signaling lights, which do not illuminate but are limited to being visible), by requiring each of the 2 drivers concerned to switch the main beam lights of their vehicle from the headlight position at the code position.
- the logic of the current state of the art is to increase the intensity of the light flux produced by each vehicle with its own high beams, both in the headlight position and in the code position. This does nothing to resolve the light contrast between the headlamp sector of the crossover vehicle and the sides of the road not yet lit by the codes of its own vehicle; unless there is a significant difference in intensity between the luminous flux of one's own vehicle to the disadvantage of the luminous flux of the crossed vehicle.
- this configuration there remains a dazzling situation for each of the drivers in a crossing situation:
- the device according to the invention overcomes this glare situation, which is a drawback which can be repetitive and sometimes generate dramatic consequences. It consists of having, on each of the 2 sides of the vehicles, a partner low beam whose illumination, with a range of the order of 15 to 30 meters, is directed not towards the front of the vehicle nor even towards the rear but directed towards the sides of the road and for the convenience of the driver of the crossover vehicle.
- a partner low beam whose illumination, with a range of the order of 15 to 30 meters, is directed not towards the front of the vehicle nor even towards the rear but directed towards the sides of the road and for the convenience of the driver of the crossover vehicle.
- the sides of the road can be lit by the crossed vehicle generates a strong consequence: there is no longer too strong a light contrast between the sector of the headlights of the crossed vehicle and the sides of the route:
- the sides of the road are directly lit by a light source close to them and which is effective from the start of the passing phase, i.e. from the passing of the main beams from the headlight position to the position code, situation which can occur while the 2 vehicles are still distant by a distance of the order of 200 to 300 meters.
- each of the 2 partner dipped beam headlights is integrated either in the front optical unit or in the rear optical unit or in the rear-view mirror (it can then be used as auxiliary lighting for the vehicle, by directing its beam of light through the movements printed on the rear-view mirror ) or in another space available on the sides of the vehicle.
- the beam of light from each of the 2 partner dipped beams forms, on a horizontal plane, an angle of the order of 30 to 45 °, however the bisector of this angle is characterized by an angle of the order of 110 to 120 ° with respect to the center line of the vehicle: the establishment of this angle is under the determination of 2 constraints: do not light forwards (cause of glare for the crossed vehicle and character then useless, for the crossed vehicle, lighting on the sides of the road) and do not light directly to the rear (cause of glare for the next vehicle, if any).
- the beam of light of each of the 2 partner dipped beam headlights is adjusted, on a vertical plane, in the manner of the dipped beam headlights or codes; that is to say for a useful range of the order of 15 to 30 meters.
- the partner dipped beam headlamps are put into operation either by the driver's own will or by a control system for setting the high beam headlamps in the code position.
- FIG. 1 shows in plan the device of the invention.
- FIG. 2 represents in section the dazzling situation counterbalanced by the illumination of the sides of the road.
