Abstract
The car’s architecture and lighting systems are increasingly composed of hundreds of components. Automotive lighting systems, on the other hand, consist of lamp bodies, light sources, electronic circuits, coolers, reflectors, and lenses in their simplest form. With the developing technology, more aesthetic and more powerful, less power consuming and more lighting elements are needed. However, since there are certain legal requirements for automotive exterior lighting, very complex structures emerge. In this respect, the aim of lighting designers is to save as much space as possible, reduce the number of parts, to lighten the vehicle, and add additional functionality. It is aimed to be applied in autonomous automotive lighting systems due to the increasing prevalence of fiber optic cables in different areas. For these purposes, a new Fiber Optic Lighting concept was proposed for smart vehicles. The proposed concept was experimentally validated on a 1/5 demo of a commercial vehicle. By using a 100-lumen LED, it was ensured that the light was carried to 5 different regions with a 1X5 splitter. With the implementation of this study on vehicles, many problems will be avoided; thermal problems will be eliminated, and at the same time, electronic circuit board design will not be required for each new vehicle model. Thus, this study will be the pioneer of a system that will provide more free stylistic working areas for automotive lighting designers in the future.
