Headlights

The headlight simulation modules of SCANeR studio are used for headlight system development and realistic night drive experiments.

Use cases for headlight simulation:

• Headlight component and system development (technology, design, cost optimization)
• Development of Intelligent lighting system laws and strategies
• AFS and ADB Matrix beam
• Night-time driving and weather conditions for road safety and comfort
• Glare and discomfort studies

The HEADLIGHTS package is a powerful set of features used for headlights systems design and realistic night drive experiments. It gives access to the NIGHTTESTMANAGER, AFSMANAGER modules and the lightingsimulation mode of the VISUAL module.

The NIGHTESTMANAGER is used to create, manage, study and compare in real time vehicle lights. The VISUAL module renders the headlights (using lightingsimulation rendering mode).

In addition, the AFSMANAGER is a tool used to “run” Adaptive Front Lights Strategies developed with the AFS API provided with the SCANeR SDK.
