BULB SURVEILLANCE DEVICES - A CONTRIBUTION TO ACTIVE SAFETY IN MOTOR VEHICLES

GLUEHLAMPENKONTROLLGERAETE - EIN BEITRAG ZUR AKTIVEN SICHERHEIT VON KRAFTFAHRZEUGEN

The failure of parts of the lighting equipment of motor vehicles, occurring either at the moment of switching on or in operation, cannot be directly noticed by the driver. Devices which monitor the behaviour of the bulbs provide an immediate warning and thus make it possible to rectify the defect quickly. The principles of several such bulb surveillance devices are described. /TRRL/
