Design of Adaptive Headlights for Automobiles

The highest fatal traffic accident rate occurs on curved roads at nighttime. Night time driving with conventional headlamps is particularly unsafe. Only 25% of the driving is done at night but 55% of the driving accidents occur during this period. The existing conventional light systems do not provide illumination in the right direction on curve roads. Due to this constrain, a need to understand an alternative technology solution. The aim is to improve visibility for driver and so achieve a significant increase in safety and driving comfort. This calls for a flexible front light for automobiles to illuminate road ahead in the night at corner. Adaptive front lighting system (AFS) helps improve driver’s visibility at night time hence achieving enhance safety. AFS (adaptive front-lighting system) used to detect information about corner in advance with help of sensor which detect the information send it to motor to adjust headlamps to get the lighting beam which was suitable for the corner. Through this way, it could avoid blind spot caused by the fixed lighting area when coming into the corner, and improve driving safety. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.1503152
