Abstract
This automotive headlight control system is newly proposed that, under my slope degree of the driving mad(flat up-hill, and down-hill) at night driving, the reflecting mirror of the headlight can be automatically controlled for safe driving. At first whether or not any vehicle is driven near is checked by photo sensor. Secondly, using the slope degree of the automotive feedbacked from the tilt sensor, the servo motor with the headlight is controlled to be turned right or down to the suitable angle. The servo motor is appropriately controlled according to road conditions. The proposed headlight control system is designed on the basis of the tested illumination intensity obtained according to any slope degree of roads. Finally, it is confirmed that the test model works very well in the given road conditions and environments.
