ABSTRACT:
A system for predictive front lighting of a vehicle. The system includes at least two headlamps, at least two swivel mechanisms and a controller. The first and second headlamps project a beam pattern for illumination of the vehicle path. The controller receives vehicle position data, as well as, data regarding a most likely path and a secondary path of the vehicle. The controller then calculates the desired swivel angle of the headlamps based on the most likely path of the vehicle and the secondary path of the vehicle, and the swivel mechanisms respectively manipulate each of the headlamps to accordingly change alignment of the headlamps based on the swivel angle for each of the of the headlamps.
