An Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) is an advanced automotive lighting technology designed to improve visibility and safety during nighttime driving. AFS systems use sensors and control mechanisms to automatically adjust the direction and intensity of the vehicle’s headlights based on various factors such as vehicle speed, steering angle, road curvature, and environmental conditions.
By dynamically directing the headlights to illuminate the road ahead more effectively, AFS helps drivers to see obstacles, pedestrians, and road signs more clearly, especially around curves and corners. It can also reduce glare for oncoming drivers by selectively dimming certain portions of the headlight beam.
the challenge
AFS systems comprise of several components like sensors, actuators and control electronics that need to work together. On-coming traffic must not see glare from the system.
This leads to complex use-case scenarios. Setup and test data for the systems needs carefully prepared to ensure that the system is working in every possible driving condition.
