Innovative Solution for Reducing Vehicle Rear Lamp Power Consumption
As the world continues to focus on energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions, a patent filed by inventors Krzysztof Gociek, Martin Koreny, and Pavel Moravec has introduced a groundbreaking solution for minimizing power consumption of vehicle rear lamps. The patented system, which includes a vehicle data bus, a power supply, at least one light source, and a switch control unit, has the potential to save significant amounts of energy.
Key Takeaways:
- The system reduces power consumption by disconnecting the rear lamp control unit from the power supply, resulting in a significant decrease in energy consumption.
- The patented system comprises a vehicle data bus, a power supply, at least one light source, and a switch control unit, with the switch control unit selectively closing and opening the switch to disconnect and reconnect the rear lamp control unit.
- The system can be controlled through a vehicle data bus, allowing for centralized management of power consumption.
- The patented solution can save several Wh per day per vehicle, with a production series of 100,000 vehicles resulting in approximately 1 MWh per day.
- The system can be implemented using a variety of vehicle data buses, including CAN and LIN buses.
- The patented solution incorporates a microprocessor with a memory to store instructions for controlling the switch based on requests from the vehicle data bus or rear lamp control unit.
Statistics:
- The patented system can save several Wh per day per vehicle.
- A production series of 100,000 vehicles can result in approximately 1 MWh per day.
- The system can reduce power consumption by disconnecting the rear lamp control unit from the power supply.
- The patented solution can be implemented using a variety of vehicle data buses, including CAN and LIN buses.
