Abstract - Major road accidents occur at nighttime. About
25% of driving is done at night. The poor illumination of
headlights accounts for this immense hike of fatal accidents at
night. Standard headlamps illuminate the road ahead only in a
straight direction making it inconvenient for the owner and
the other drivers on road. Another problem arises when the
driver is drunk and drowsy and forgets to turn the vehicle at
the curves. Here we are developing a miniaturized system
which can bring about a solution to these problems. The first
section focuses on widening the area of illumination at curved
roads thereby preventing the difficulty caused by blind spots.
The headlights are mounted on servomotors which rotates and
provides a much wider view. A camera sensor is used to
capture the image of curved road in advance. The features of
the image are extracted and is processed using MATLAB which
gives the angle of the road thereby facilitating the movement
of servomotor. The second section focuses on reducing
accidents caused by drunken and drowsy drivers. An IR sensor
with its obstacle detection property is employed here in order
to avoid the chances of collision by gradually stopping the
vehicle to the side of the road. In addition, we are controlling
the vehicle using an android application developed using an
open source software known as App Inventor

1.INTRODUCTION
According to National Safety Council Reports, more than
55% of fatal accidents occur at nighttime drivers’ visibility is
determined by various factors. Street lights may not be
sufficient every time for safe driving[1]. The headlight may
not offer proper illumination when the vehicles turn the
corner. The degree of illumination in conventional headlights
can cause blind spots leading to poor visual performance.
With the improvement in car industry throughout the year
there was a climb in the quantity of vehicles on street
bringing about an unexpected increment in the quantity of
street mishaps. Poor perceivability and ill-advised light of
the streets at bends and corners result in mishaps. The
prime reason for the greater part of the mishaps happening
during the evening is commonly because of the inability to
see impediments or the pedestrians crossing the way and the
inauspicious response to it. The headlamps assume a pivotal
job in the drivers' perceivability and security. The fixed
light beam pattern of regular headlamps limits the drivers'
perceivability while taking bends and makes vulnerable
sides bringing about poor illumination[2]. This paper centers
around stretching out the brightening territory to more
extensive point in this manner forestalling vulnerable sides
and supporting in a more secure driving. Here, we make
utilization of Automated Automobile Head lighting
System(AAHS) which is a functioning driving security
improving framework which can consequently change or
modify headlamps for various outside conditions or factors,
for example, street conditions, driving conditions and
climatic conditions etc. Earlier directional lights utilized
mechanical linkages whereas AAHS depends on transducers,
electronic sensors and actuators. Correlation made on the
light dissemination pattern of headlamps with and without
AAHS demonstrates that the latter one doesn't completely
enlighten the diverting which blocks the driver from
recognizing any hindrances on its way. Accordingly,
auspicious identification of any impediment helps in
forestalling impacts or mishaps at the curved roads[3].
This paper proposes an AAHS dependent on camera sensor
which is superior to anything the customary AAHS which
were subject to the steering wheels for the modification of
the headlamps. Here the subtleties of the curved road is
taken ahead of time from a specific separation utilizing
image enhancement technique[3]. At that point the
headlamps mounted on rotors is balanced by the curved
road subtleties gathered. In this manner legitimate
brightening of the curved road surface is achieved. Along
these lines it can adjust to the curved road condition ahead
of time through camera sensors with no requirement for the
estimations dependent on the steering wheel point sensor.
The programmed frameworks for headlamp created and
