Adaptive Headlight Control System

This research paper focuses on the new method of a retrofittable Adaptive Headlight Control System (AHS) for automobiles like car, trucks, etc., Adaptive headlight system is the technology where the headlights can adjust their illuminating radius with respect to the steering angle and able to self-level its position depending upon the terrain and intensity of light beam changes dynamically high or low according to the oncoming vehicle. This system also considers the benefit of other motorists on the road. In the existing system, mechanical links are incorporated with the front lighting system and steering wheel, and the angle of light will change according to the requirements and the cost of this system is high which is mostly used in higher-end vehicles. In this study an attempt is made to develop a adaptive headlight system which can be retrofitted in an existing model of an automobile providing improved illuminating angles and light visibility under various terrain and road conditions. The proposed AHS system could be useful for applications like different lighting beams (low, high) and also for levelling operations. This system could be a better replacement for conventional headlights seen in low, mid-end cars and would help in the prevention of accidents especially during night driving. (paper)
