Now the technology not only CARS lamplight

To date, the technology revolution continues to head lamp. In 1991, xenon arc lamps with a stronger lighting technology. Ten years after that, precisely in 2001, BMW for the development of technology for bi-xenon lamps from the application of high and low beam. The result, since September 2005, the lighthouse on a product-5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series is equipped with the technology of the bi-xenon.

Bi-xenon technology from BMW Assist appointed High-Beam, using the sensor device is placed in the mirror head. Sensor then send a signal based on visibility in the car that is light for the light conditions or road surface which will follow. The signal is then determined by the headlights, if the need for the high beam and low beam.

Innovation flagship grows. One of the steps designing a system that is large reflector lamps, which can move horizontally to the left and right, depending on the direction of the car when the front wheels turn. The nature of the technology known as adaptive headlights that can be found in products like the Nissan Tean and several cars lance iran newest products. BMW is even using the latest technologies with the name 'swivel headlamps since 2003.

Betrayed luxury cars of European products, technology, lighting equipment alias fire on the car can be called intelligent grows. Mercedes-Benz S-Class launch equipped with the latest technology, the so-called smart lamp Night View assist, infra-red technology to help penetrate the vision of the man replaced.

Infra-red technological superiority, to get the light to illuminate the road at a distance of about 150 meters, is not to make eye strong rider from the opposite direction. See how the night Assist, which detect whether the early release of various objects such as pedestrians, cyclists, bicycles, car parks and other obstacles. The device is an infra-red cameras, that the road to the future. Results of registration and sent directly Didi play on a screen in the cabin.

In the stronghold of BMW, the device driver assistance system is called Night Vision with the conditions and begin application on Series-7 from the year 2005. Like Mercedes, infrared technology is also used BMW. A thermal camera placed on the popular bumper to follow the object in front of the car to the safe distance of 300 meters. Results watched beaten, and then to the screen in the main cabin and the driver appears in the form of an image. Sling pedestrians or animals that pass through, is becoming increasingly evident on the screen.

To maximize the application of night vision, researchers in the BMW on the choice of technology, Far Infrared, or FIR, which has proven more accurate in the detection of the human figure, animals or other objects in the night.

Scientific research also shows, FIR is no longer applied and near-infrared or NIR responded to that request. The ability is FIR have a wide variety of characteristics. For example, the human figure in the area along the road, can be enlarged or zoom-in. Head Lamp development of the technology without considers the main objectives for the monitoring of the situation, drivers do May disaster without the sharing of the merger. (AC-02)
