PRINCIPLE

Significant numbers ofroad fatalities happen at night. With normal dipped lights, the driver's visibility> is reduced to around 40 meters at night.
At night, the perception of depth and colour recognition is compromised, resulting in detecting an obstacle or risk too late.

Upper beam dazzles the oncoming traffic and is therefore of limited use.
 

EXPLANATION

A Night Vision system provides increased night-time visibility by far- or near-infrared sensors with a range equivalent to upper beam headlights.

The system does not dazzle oncoming traffic, since infrared light is invisible to the human eye.

The illuminated scene is presented to the driver in a special display, which gives a better view of the road ahead, including other vehicles and obstacles in the distance.

The driver can therefore detect dangerous situations sooner and react more quickly.
