  • Publication number: 20230339386
    Abstract: A coordinated multi-vehicle lighting system includes a remote coordination system and at least two vehicles. Each vehicle has a light installation that includes a front light, a rear light, a navigation module, and a controller in operable communication with the front light, the rear light, and the navigation module. Location data from the navigation module is provided to the remote coordination system, and the remote coordination system determines a status for each vehicle by comparing the location data from the vehicle to the location data from each of the other vehicles. The remote coordination system transmits the status of each vehicle to the controller of that vehicle. For each vehicle, the controller is programmed to selectively reduce an illumination of the front light and of the rear light according to the status of the vehicle.
