  • Patent number: 11661131
    Abstract: A headlight horizontal lighting pattern adjustment system includes an inclination angle sensor connected to a vehicle to sense an inclination angle value of the vehicle. A processing unit receives the inclination angle value and processes the inclination angle value into a driving value. A driving module drives a lighting device. The driving module commands the driving device to driving and rotate the lighting device according the driving value. The headlight horizontal lighting pattern adjustment system is equipped to a motorbike or an electric motorbike. When the motorbike turns and tilt, the processing unit adjusts the light of the lighting device by the driving module and the driving device to eliminate dark corners in the dark zone and maintains the full scale of light pattern to enhance safety to all the road users.
