Abstract
An illumination control system for a mobile machine that operates in coordination with other mobile machines is configured to adjust an illumination lamp disposed on the mobile machine and directed in a travel direction of the machine. The illumination control system includes a positioning/location device that can determine a proximity distance between the mobile machine and a second mobile machine approaching in the travel direction. The illumination control system also includes an electronic controller configured to adjust the illumination device based on the proximity distance as determined. The illumination control system may find particular usefulness in paving and/or milling operations.
