Concept of an Intelligent Adaptive Vehicle Front-Lighting Assistance System

For many of the drivers, the keys to a car are the keys to independence, but for some of them they are also the "key" to serious injuries. In Europe, road accidents are considered as one of the main causes of death of people under 45 years of age. They number about 1,700,000 accidents, causing over 40,000 deaths and more than 1,300,000 injuries each year. More than 23% of these traffic fatalities had occurred due to bad visual acuity at night as well as adverse weather and road conditions. This paper presents a concept of an intelligent front-lighting system, which can adapt its light distribution according to the changes in the traffic conditions. This system tends to achieve an optimal illumination of the traffic space by avoiding glaring the other road participants and creating the conditions for an optimal visual perception to the driver.
