Hyundai Mobis Develops Headlamps that Prevent Nighttime Accidents

Hyundai Mobis succeeded in developing next-generation headlamps that show road signs on the road ahead in real-time. The technology is expected to become the latest innovation that significantly reduces nighttime car accidents for both drivers and pedestrians.

HD Lighting System developed by Hyundai Mobis shows driving information on the road surface in real-time for improved convenience and safety of drivers. It integrates with GPS navigation to inform the driver about the construction zone ahead and uses the camera sensor to display a virtual crosswalk on the road.
 
HD Lighting System developed by Hyundai Mobis is a technology that visualizes road signs in text or shapes and projects on the road surface. For example, the lamp shows there is road construction ahead using relevant symbols to drivers, while projecting the crosswalk sign on the road surface with lamp lights to help pedestrians cross the road safely.

While there are convenient safety technologies that inform users about driving information like GPS navigation and head-up display (HUD), HD Lighting System is seen as a technology that considers not only drivers, but also communication features with pedestrians.

HD Lighting System is comprised of HD micro LEDs that are light sources and a digital micro mirror device (DMD), a collection of tiny mirrors that together act as a reflector. The key technologies at play are the technology that meticulously controls DMD and software logic that makes this work. Information obtained from the front sensor (camera) and GPS navigation can also be integrated to provide the driver with necessary information.
