According to Reuters, as road safety awareness continues to grow, so does the demand for advanced vehicle safety technologies. In the realm of automotive lighting, the focus has increasingly shifted toward ensuring optimal and safe illumination at night. To address this need, OSRAM China's R&D team has expanded its SMARTRIX matrix lighting module, leading to the development of the Compact ADB (Adaptive Driving Beam) system—a compact and intelligent high-beam solution designed to enhance driving safety. Tailored for the Chinese market, the Compact ADB not only meets essential safety requirements but also offers a more compact design that opens up new possibilities for headlight innovation and styling.
Traditional car headlights, including some xenon models, can be extremely blinding. At night, they often cause glare for oncoming drivers, creating a significant risk to road safety. The ADB technology, however, uses video camera input to detect the position and distance of incoming vehicles and automatically adjusts the beam to avoid shining directly into their eyes. This ensures maximum visibility for the driver while minimizing the risk of glare. As traffic accident statistics show, nighttime accidents are 1.5 times more likely than during the day, with over half of all incidents occurring after dark—largely due to poor lighting conditions and impaired vision. With the Compact ADB system from OSRAM’s SMARTRIX module, drivers can enjoy improved visibility even in complex or adverse weather conditions.
Built upon OSRAM’s innovative SMARTRIX lighting module, the Compact ADB is exceptionally compact, saving over 50% of space compared to traditional ADB systems. This makes it ideal for modern, slim, low-profile headlight designs, giving designers greater flexibility and freedom. With the growing demand for adaptive lighting solutions in the Chinese market, this system is well-suited to meet the needs of local automakers, especially independent brands, helping them upgrade their vehicle safety features and improve overall performance.
Dong Xiangyu, Director of Product Marketing and Projects at OSRAM Asia Pacific’s Automotive Lighting Division, stated, “As a global leader in automotive lighting, OSRAM offers comprehensive solutions—from light sources to full system integration. The Compact ADB system developed by our Chinese team not only highlights our advanced local R&D capabilities but also demonstrates OSRAM’s commitment to being a high-tech optical system integrator. We continuously innovate to meet the evolving challenges of road safety.â€
In 2011, the United Nations launched the Decade of Action for Road Safety, aiming to reduce global road fatalities. As a leading provider of automotive lighting technology, OSRAM has been actively contributing to road safety through continuous technological advancements. At the 2017 Stop the Crash China and Global Automotive Safety Conference, OSRAM shared insights on the latest trends and innovations in automotive lighting and road safety.

Dropout Fuse Cutout and load drop fuse cutout are outdoor used high-voltage protective devices. They are connected with the main lines of the distribution transformer or the distribution wires to protect the transformer or wires from short circuit and overload, and on/off loading current. Dropout fuse cutout consists of insulating bracket and fuse tube. The static contacts are fixed on the two ends of bracket, while the moving contacts are fixed on the two ends of fuse tube. Fuse tube is composed of inner extinction tube and the outer epoxy glass tube. The load drop fuse cutout is added with elastic supporting contacts and arcing shield for switching on-off loading current. In normal operation, the fuse tube will form an enclosure via its tightened fuse link. The fuse will be melt off quickly and form an arc if there is any fault, the extinction tube is heated by the arc, exploding much gas to give high pressure into the tube and blow along with the tube, so the arc is quickly elongated and extinguished. When the fuse is cut off, moving contacts at the bottom turn down without tension; the locking frame will release the fuse, so the fuse drops to form obvious break. When it needs to put load on, start the contact with insulating cod, then the static and moving contacts are still keeping in touch, keep pulling the contacts till the supporting contacts apart. Then there is the arc among the supporting contacts, which is prolonged in the narrow space of arcing shield.At the same time, the arc extinguishing cover generates gas, and the arc is extinguished when the current exceeds zero.
