We demonstrate an iterative and inverse design of a segmented reflector used to illuminate the road with a uniform light distribution and reduced glare to the oncoming traffic. Design is set to meet the StVZO standard. The maximum brightness obtained is 1460 candela, which is five times brighter than a conventional headlamp of urban shared electric scooters and bicycles, resulting in improved visibility in dark environments. A prototype was built and tested at various environments. The tolerance analysis showed no negative influence on the desired standard light distribution. In addition to this iterative approach, a ray tracing code has been developed for inverse design and to map a desired uniform road illumination pattern back to the candela sensor for corresponding reflector design.
