Abstract
Systems and methods for replicating vehicular illumination are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system includes a detector configured to sense light emitted by a host light of a host vehicle for detecting a lighting state of the host light. The system also includes a communications system configured to communicate the detected lighting state between the host light and the remote light. Further, the system includes a remote light being located on one of the host vehicle and an operator of the host vehicle and configured to replicate the lighting state of the host light.
Claims16
A system comprising:
- a detector configured to sense changes in light emitted including at least one of color and intensity, by one or more host lights of a host vehicle;
- a communications system configured to communicate a plurality of different states of the light emitted based on the sensed changes of the at least one of color and intensity of the light, wherein the states indicate the sensed changes in the at least one of color and intensity of the light, and wherein the communications system is configured to wirelessly communicate the plurality of states to one or more remote lights, wherein the communicated states are encoded and transmitted to specific remote lights based on the states, wherein the communications system includes a wireless connection, and wherein communication links of the communications system are established by a smartphone,
- wherein each of the one or more remote lights is located within wireless range of the host vehicle, or of an operator of the host vehicle, and configured to:
- receive the state associated with the remote light;
- decode the state associated with the remote light;
- and
- emit light that replicates the host light associated with the remote light based on the state associated with the remote light.

- a communications system configured to communicate a plurality of different states of the light emitted based on the sensed changes of the at least one of color and intensity of the light, wherein the states indicate the sensed changes in the at least one of color and intensity of the light, and wherein the communications system is configured to wirelessly communicate the plurality of states to one or more remote lights, wherein the communicated states are encoded and transmitted to specific remote lights based on the states,
- wherein each of the one or more remote lights is located within wireless range of the host vehicle, or of an operator of the host vehicle, and configured to:
- receive the state associated with the remote light;
- decode the state associated with the remote light;
- and
- emit light that replicates the host light associated with the remote light based on the state associated with the remote light,
- wherein the communications system is configured to utilize a keycoded wireless signal, and
- wherein the keycoded wireless signal is based on the license plate of the vehicle.
