This new AML LuMEMS, provides the true pitch angle of the vehicle, can be
integrated into virtually any type of vehicles, and offers improved performance with
lower weight. These performance features make this technology the preferred
solutions for automatic leveling and improve safety and comfort for the driver.
AML has developed the digital sensing for automatic leveling of headlights.
For decades, OEMs and Tiers have relied on the châssis sensors. These cannot detect ail influencing factors and are
exposed to harsh environmental conditions due to their external fitting on the vehicle. The châssis sensors with their long
wiring and protection devices are additional weight and inhibit a weight-optimized vehicle development.
With LuMEMS AML offers a digital and therefore very small and light solution to measure the pitch angle of the vehicle
independent of the road position.
Static as well as dynamic headlamp leveling is possible with a
very high accuracy. With LuMEMS a significant weight
réduction with positive influence on C02 émissions is
achieved.
The real-time pitch angle of the vehicle additionally provides
more safety through best illumination and reduced glare of
oncoming traffic.
True pitch angle measurement
This technology is based on MEMS sensors and a micro-
controller. In a stationary state LuMEMS measures and
calculâtes load variation. During the motion phase, a
specific algorithm calculâtes the pitch of the vehicle
relatively to the road. LuMEMS preferred installation location
is the vehicles cabin. LuMEMS allows to adjust headlamps
in accordance with ECE R48.
