DUAL-FILAMENT REPLACEABLE BULB HEADLAMP USING A MULTI-REFLECTOR OPTIMIZED WITH A NEURAL NETWORK

A system has been developed that makes it possible to design headlamps having an ideal light distribution pattern. Using multi B-spline surfaces (MBSS) for the reflector and dual filament (c-8,c-8) for the light source, the shape and the light distribution pattern it generates are computer simulated. The characteristics of the light distributions are analyzed and, using a neural network, the reflector is partitioned. Each surface is continuously modified so as to obtain the optimum light distribution pattern. (A) For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 875189.
