Vehicle Head Light Beam Control Using RF Communication Manoj K Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, CEG, Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------raises the danger of a The aim is to provide reliable Abstract – During night driving the headlight of vehicles solutions at low cost.
must be switched properly. Mostly while driving vehicle drivers use high beam lights instead of low beam in all situations. The high beam should be used only when there’s low visibility or in highways and you should consider the other drivers in mind. While travelling in a dak road if you notice an oncoming vehicle or traffic, it’s advisable to switch the headlight to low beam. It can dazzle the driver ahead by reflecting in the rearview mirror and cause lose in visibility and result in accident. In this proposed idea the headlight can be controlled manually as well as automatically if a respective signal is received from approaching vehicle. According to this project when a vehicle wants to communicate with the nearby vehicle, it is done by using the RF wireless communication technology.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY Driving in low light or at night is always difficult especially for elderly people, as the vision of the elderly population tends to decline as age. The potential risks of night driving are due to the glare of very high intensity light from the opposite direction vehicles which cause temporarily blind to the drivers while taking curves or approaching obstacles. A report by Apollo tyres states that 74% of vision bleach caused by the practice of high beam light in the vehicles. The high beam light from vehicle coming in opposite side irrespective of the lane will lead to misjudgment of road. According to road accidents in India 2015 published by ministry of road, transport, and highways 39.2% of fatal road crashes have occurred in nighttime particularly between 6pm and 5am even though traffic is lesser compared to daytime. We should not use high beams inside city as there will be enough streetlights and if the driver encounters a vehicle it is suggested to switch to low beam before 500 feet. These bright lights should be avoided while driving in hilly areas and curved roads as we do not have any idea about the vehicle from opposite side. Likewise, while driving behind a vehicle use low beam light if the vehicle in front of us is within certain range.

1.INTRODUCTION Our roads are jammed. As a result, practically all automakers must consider adding additional safety features and technological controls. Modern automobiles have variable illumination. The low and high beams alternate. At night, low lights illuminate the road ahead. When no other vehicles are present, bright lights are used to guide the car. They're also gaining ground. High lights illuminate silent roadways. So the driver can see obstacles. High beams are also utilized on unlit routes. An automatic high beam sensor. As a result of another high beam, our high beams automatically descend. Nowadays, light beams create numerous mishaps. On the basis of night vision, our study presents an efficient automated vehicle illumination adjustment. Control of high/low beams by robot Save time and energy with this project. This project allows cars to interact through RF without affecting the beam's manual capabilities. CMVR 105 (2) (ii), DMVR 112 (G) and 177 of MVA prohibit the use of headlights, taillights, and high beams (Motor Vehicle Act, 1988). High beams are illegal in certain city limits. On narrow roadways or approaching a car, use low beam. Drivers are required to use sealed beam high and low beam headlights. Quad headlamps with a “Autronic Eye” on each fender were standard on the 1955 Cadillac ELDORADO BROUGHAM. Free highway usage inner lighting AHBCS is already available, but only on highend cars. Most low-cost automobiles' 60Ah batteries discharge in 10-12 starts. Ape (3W) and Porter (4W). Leaving the headlight on throughout the day causes frequent battery drain. Improper beam management also

Drivers should switch to low beam when they find a vehicle in opposite direction. In most of the cases they don’t do this. One of the major reasons is most of the drivers are not educated about the use of high and low beam lights in vehicles and when to use them. Also, due to insufficient light in roads forces the driver to use high beam light sometimes. So, if a high beam light hits the vision of the driver it leads to photo bleaching effect and takes some time to come out of the bright light impact in eyes. Drivers can avoid this by staring away from the light from opposite vehicle or just dim/dip the light and indicate the opposite vehicle driver about high beam light but this not going to always help. As if both the vehicles have their light in high beam and drivers look away for long time then it might result in accident because of loss of focus on the road.
