<br/><br/> This paper presents the design and fabrication of a motorcycle headlight adaptive<br/>system basically to circumvent the hassle of manual switching from low to high or vice<br/>versa while driving at night. This adaptive system switches the high beam to low beam as<br/>soon as it senses the headlight of a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction and<br/>switches it back to high beam when vehicles pass through each other. The prototype is<br/>an electronic circuit that incorporates the use of a 12 volts power supply which is provided<br/>by the motorcycle battery itself, a light dependent resistor which acts as the sensor, a<br/>potential divider network which serves as a comparator to trigger the driver transistors<br/>connected to a solid state relay which does the switching. It was designed, constructed,<br/>tested and it worked, with light sensitivity sensing to a maximum distance of 220 meters,<br/>with a very minimal power consumption and an instantaneous response time. In addition,<br/>the headlight also automatically shift from high to low beam when the right or left turn<br/>signal is switched on. This increases the visibility of the motorcycle which would turn right<br/>or left. The installation of this automatic headlight control in motorcycles will minimize<br/>night accidents occurring as a result of the glare from approaching vehicles.
