Design of Anti-Glaring System for High Beam Reflection On Rear And Side View Mirrors During Night Driving

Abstract

Automobile Headlamps Provide Illumination For Driving That Enables Efficient Lane Keeping, Detection Of Potential Obstacles Such As Other Vehicles And Pedestrians, And Perception Of Traffic Signs. The Bright Light Of High Beam Was The Main Cause For Short Period Of Time Blindness Of Drivers (Glaring), Pedestrians By Glaring Of High Beam Light. In Addition To That High Beam Reflections From Other Vehicles On The Side View Mirror And Inside View Mirror Of A Vehicle Also Causes Similar Damages. Many Drivers Experience Such Problem Especially When Vehicles Are Running In Close Range, The High Beam From Following Vehicles Will Strike The Side Mirror Or The Rear-View Mirror Of The Vehicle At The Front, And This High Beam Reflection Causes A Discomfort Or Temporary Blindness. Drivers Become Unable To See What Is Coming From The Front, Which Might Cause: Collision Of Between Vehicles, Death Of Pedestrian, Vehicles Losing Their Lane, Vehicle Rollover During Night Caused By Glaring Of High Beam. The Researcher Uses Primary Sources And Drivers In Which Are More Prone To Such Problems Through Questionnaires And Interviews To Assess The Importance Of This Design. Since This Thesis Work Focuses On The High Beam Glaring Problems Caused By Following Vehicle, Uses Primary Data Of The Driver Respondents To Show The How Much Of A Problem Is Happening. The Objective Of The Study Is To Design Anti Glaring System For This High Beam Glaring Problem That Happens Due To Following Vehicles High Beam Striking The Side And Rear View Mirror. The Design Of Anti-Glaring System For Side And Rear-View Mirror During Night Driving Can Avoid The Glaring Problems Which Might Be Caused By Unnecessary Usage Of High Beam From The Following Vehicles On The Road, Especially Light Vehicles, Which Is A Common Participant In Nighttime Traffic Incidents. The Newly Designed Anti Glaring System For Side And Rear-View Mirror Automatically Detects The Light Intensity Of Following Vehicle By Using A Micro Controller , Motor Controller And Mirror Motor. The System Will Automatically Turn The Mirror In To A Position Where These Coming Headlight Will Be Having The List Chance Of Strikes The Driver?�?S Eye Until The Approaching Vehicle Passes.
