According to Reuters, as road safety awareness continues to grow, the demand for advanced vehicle safety technologies is also increasing. In the field of automotive lighting, how to provide the most effective and safe illumination at night has become a growing concern. The OSRAM China R&D team has further developed the SMARTRIX matrix lighting module, leading to the creation of the advanced Compact ADB (Adaptive Driving Beam) system. This compact adaptive high-beam technology aims to enhance driving safety by intelligently adjusting the light beam to avoid blinding oncoming drivers.
Traditional car headlights, including some xenon models, can be very bright and cause glare for oncoming drivers, which poses a serious risk to road safety. ADB technology, however, uses video camera input to detect the position and distance of oncoming vehicles and adjusts the light accordingly, dimming or turning off the beam in their direction to prevent glare. This ensures that drivers have the best possible visibility while maintaining safety. According to traffic authorities, the risk of accidents at night is 1.5 times higher than during the day, with over 55% of accidents occurring after dark. Poor lighting conditions, inadequate habits, and changes in driver vision are key contributing factors. With OSRAM’s Compact ADB system, drivers can enjoy optimal nighttime visibility even under complex road conditions and adverse weather.
Built upon OSRAM’s innovative SMARTRIX lighting module, the Compact ADB system is designed to be extremely compact, saving over 50% of space compared to traditional ADB systems. This allows for more flexibility in headlight design, aligning with the trend toward slim, low-profile headlights. As the ADB market continues to expand, this system is well-suited to meet the needs of domestic automakers, especially Chinese brands, helping them enhance their vehicle safety features and improve overall performance.
Dong Xiangyu, Director of Product Marketing and Projects at OSRAM Asia Pacific Automotive Lighting Division, said, “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 strong local R&D capabilities but also reinforces OSRAM’s position as a high-tech optical system integrator. We are continuously pushing the boundaries of innovation to address the challenges of road safety.â€
In 2011, the United Nations launched the Decade of Action for Road Safety, aiming to reduce road accidents and save lives worldwide. As a leading provider of automotive lighting technology, OSRAM remains committed to advancing road safety through continuous innovation. At the recent 2017 Stop the Crash China and Global Automotive Safety Conference, OSRAM shared the latest trends and insights into automotive lighting and road safety with industry professionals.
