Abstract: An autonomous light system may comprise a reading light assembly, an object detection device; and a controller. The reading light assembly may include a light source and an actuation system. The controller may be operably coupled to the light source and the object detection device. The controller may include an object detection module and may be configured to receive object data from the object detection device, compare the object data against an object database, identify an object based on the comparison of the object data to the object database, send a first command to at least one of the light source and the actuation system.

Abstract: An evacuation guidance system may comprise a plurality of floor guidance lights, a plurality of seat guidance lights, a plurality of exit signs, and a controller in communication with the plurality of floor guidance lights, the plurality of seat guidance lights, and the plurality of exit signs. The plurality of floor guidance lights may include a plurality of fore-aft floor lights and a plurality of port-starboard floor lights. The controller may be configured to determine a closest exit door to each floor guidance light, each seat guidance light, and each exit sign. The controller may command each floor guidance light, each seat guidance light, and each exit sign to indicate a direction of the closest exit door.
