ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on the design and working of a microcontroller based

adaptive headlight system (AHS) for automobiles. the main purpose of this system is to
prevent a cost effective technique to illuminate blind spots while driving in the night
and during the times when the visibility is reduced significantly so as to make the
objects visible in those darkened locations and thereby prevent accidents. The system
functions in accordance to the controlled input from atmel AT89S52 microcontroller
unit which drives the stepper motors connected to the headlights. The system is also
designed to receive input from the indicator switch where in a full turn is achieved by
the headlights mirror when the indicator input is given. Also, the adaptive head-light are
automatically switched on when the amount of light measured by a photo diode falls
below a threshold, thereby eliminating the need for the driver to switch on the
headlight.
