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