    This document summarizes an adaptive headlight system project that aims to enhance safety. The system will have three main features: 1) Adaptive headlights that adjust based on BMW animation. 2) Automatic high/low beam transition based on sensors. 3) Speed controlled beam orientation, narrowing at high speeds and widening at low speeds using secondary reflectors controlled by servos. The system will use light and position sensors along with servos to control reflector plates and aim the headlights. It is intended to be powered by wall power and will undergo testing of components and the full integrated system.

    Adaptive Headlight System

    Betzayda Rivera Projects II Design Review Tuesday, 9-16-03

    Background
    Currently,
    Headlights shine directly in front of a vehicle

    The high to low beam transition is manual


    In general, the same beam shines all the time just at different intensities

    Project Objectives
    To ENHANCE the existing functionality Improve VISIBILITY Decrease number of night time accidents Increase SAFETY for drivers & pedestrians

    First Feature
    Adaptive Headlights:
    BMW animation

    Second Feature
    High to Low beam transition:
    High => Low with oncoming traffic or city environment Low => High after lighted situation passes

    How?

    Light/Dark Sensor

    Third Enhancement
    Speed Controlled Beam Orientation:
    Narrow & lengthen the beam at HIGH speeds Widen & shorten the beam at LOW speeds

    How?

    Secondary Reflector

    Analysis & Specifications


    Vishay Spectrol
    Full 360 degree Smart Position Sensor

    Light Sensor

    TIP 121 0V

    SW1 = Toggle switch R1 = LDR R2 = 10k ohm R3 = 1k ohm

    VR1 = 10k ohm BZ1 = Buzzer D1 = Diode (1N4001) Transistor = (TIP 121)

    Analysis & Specifications


    Two Large Inner Reflective Plates
    Used to aim the headlight during turns Servo positioned in center; weight distribution 45 degree total mobility

    Two Small Outer Reflective Plates


    Used to narrow or widen beam by speed Servo positioned in center; weight distribution 30 degree total mobility

    Power Consumption

    Relatively Low Power Stationary System; therefore Utilize Wall Power.
