Cost-effective IoT-based automated vehicle headlight control system: design and implementation

Abstract

The current world would be difficult without vehicles, which offer vital 
advantages for social connectivity, mobility, and technical advancement. 
Though motor vehicles provide benefits to passenger transportation, they 
also present certain challenges in their use. A major issue is nighttime traffic 
accidents caused by headlamps from automobiles traveling in reverse 
directions, that's why there is a high probability of accidents due to the glare 
on the driver's eyes. The phrase "Troxler effect" refers to an unexpected 
glare that a motorist recognizes. In this paper, we will provide an optimal 
solution to this challenge/Troxler effect. The primary objective of this paper 
is to design an internet of things (IoT)-based smart headlight control model. 
Our system introduced a cost-effective vehicle’s headlights controlled by 
light detection. According to this paper, a vehicle’s headlights are 
automatically rotated down when the sensor detects lights from the opposite 
direction of the vehicle headlights. We tried to reduce the road accident rate 
with our proposed system. This type of technology will prove useful in the 
motor vehicle sector and offer an innovative approach that ensures driver 
safety as well as increasing economic development.
