POSITION LIGHTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A position lighting device configured to emit at least one road irradiation beam from a vehicle onto a road, thereby making the other moving object which is positioned behind the vehicle or at a side of the vehicle recognize an existence of the vehicle, the position lighting device comprising:
- a lighting unit configured to emit the at least one road irradiation beam onto at least a portion of areas on the road behind and at the side of the vehicle;
a distance detecting unit configured to detect a distance between the vehicle and the other moving object; and
a lighting control unit configured to control the lighting unit on the basis of the distance between the vehicle and the other moving object detected by the distance detecting unit, thereby changing a state of the at least one road irradiation beam.
