SYNOPSIS
These type of headlights appeared on production cars in the 1920’s and are
stillaround nowadays, but not very popular, although they make night time
driving safer. The most famous car which featured these lights was the Citroen
DS (1955-1975), introduced on the 1968 Paris Motor Show. The headlights can
be connected to the steering linkage by means of rods or cables, operated
hydraulically by the power steering or nowadays electronically adjusted, even
controlled by satellite navigation system.
Our project comprises Cam and Follower mechanism, Gear mechanism and
spring mechanism. Cam and Follower mechanism is used to turn the head lights
to right or left direction, Gear mechanism is used to transmit motion and to reduce
the no of rotations from steering rod to cam shaft. Spring mechanism is used to
bring back the follower and head light bracket to its initial position.
8
According to our project, when the steering steers to the right, the light bracket at
right alone steers to right using cam & follower mechanism and reduction gears
& vice versa. At the same time the left bracket remains stand still due to the dwell
period of the cam. During the return stroke of cam, the spring mechanism is used
to bring the bracket and follower to its initial position. The reduction gears are
used to turn the brackets to the required angle respective to the steering rotation.
Our project will be useful for vehicles, which are been used in hill areas

INTRODUCTION
In the known technology of the prior art, a headlight of an automobile has a fixed
line of emission which is aligned with the front direction of the automobile.
Although the effects of "high beam" or "low beam" can be achieved by adjusting
the angle of elevation of the headlight, the direction of emission is not adjustable
as to the left or right. When the road curves or turns, the corner on time when the
car turns, thereby creating a dead angle of illumination and such lack of visibility
poses danger in driving at night or in darkness.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to invent a device to solve this problem and such
device is of high utility.
In ancient Directional headlights, when the steering steers to right or left direction,
then both the right and left headlights will steer to the perspective directions. It
results in altering the optical axis of the head light to the vehicle speed and the
front road-shape.
15
But according to our project, when the steering steers to right then the right side
of the headlight bracket steers to right side and the left side headlight bracket
remains stationery by cam mechanism and it is similar for the other side also.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The present invention relates to a vehicle front lamp light distribution control
system and more particularly to a vehicle front lamp light distribution control
system capable of raising visibility at the time of cornering by controlling light
distribution means of the front lamp.
According to-
A vehicle head lamp including a fog lamp is provided with a movable reflector
and by turning the movable reflector in the steering direction by an amount
corresponding to a steering angle of the steering wheel, the light distribution
pattern of the front lamp is changed in the direction of vehicle's turn so as to raise
visibility at the time of cornering.
However, according to the aforementioned earlier art, the light distribution pattern
of the front lamp is changed in the steering direction of the steering wheel by an
amount corresponding to the steering angle when the vehicle turns on an
intersection or the like, cornering destination cannot be beamed brightly enough
before operating the steering wheel. Therefore, an art capable of beaming the
cornering destination prior to operation of the steering wheel has been demanded.

HISTORY OF DEVELOPMET
Although the concept of headlights that follow the movements of the steering is
still considered nowadays as being innovative, it is not new. The first vehicles
fitted with such systems appeared in the 1920s. Pioneers and milestones in the
automotive history featuring directional headlights were the 1928 Willis - Knight
70A Touring, the 1930s Czech Tetra and the American 1948 Trucker Sedan.
These cars were equipped with a third central headlight mechanically connected
to the steering system. The most famous car featuring directional headlights, was
the Citroen DS (1955-1975), introduced on the 1968 Paris Motor Show. This car
had both headlights not only swiveling with the steering, but they were self
leveling as well, responding to inputs from the suspension. While it was a purely
mechanical system operated by cables, the 1970Citroen SM used a sealed
hydraulic system with a glycerin based fluid. On present day motorcars two types
of directional headlight system are in use:
1. A fixed light that only turns on and off based on steering and vehicle speed.
2. The light is motorized by the use of small electric motors and physically
swivels according to the movement of the steering wheel and vehicle speed.
This modern technology first appeared in 2003 on the Porsche Cayenne (fixed)
and the Mercedes E-class (motorized). Soon other manufacturers followed them
such as the BMW with the adaptive headlights and cornering lights and nowadays
most of the main brands use such systems on their vehicles like Acura, Audi,
BMW, Cadillac, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar ,Land Rover,Lexus,Mercedes-
Benz,Opel,Porsche,Saab,Volkswagen,VolvoandMazda.Audi is experimenting with
a system which uses satellite navigation adjust the headlights according to the
road layout ahead the vehicle

CONSTRUCTION
These gears are the simplest, and probably most common, type of gear. Their
general form is a cylinder or disk. The teeth project radically outward, and with
these "straight-cut gears", the leading edges of the teeth are aligned parallel to the
axis of rotation. These gears can only mesh correctly if they are fitted to parallel
axis.
2.Sprockets:
A sprocket is a profiled wheel with metal teeth that meshes with a chain, track or
other perforated or indented material. Sprockets are used to transmit rotary
motion between two shafts where gears are unsuitable or to impart linear motion
to a track, tape etc.
21
3.Cam & follower:
Cams are basically shaped surfaces that are typically not round follower(possibly
small wheel) is displaced as it moves over the surface.
4. Steering system:
The most conventional steering arrangement is to turn the front wheels using a
handle operated steering wheel which is positioned in front of the driver, via the
steering column, which may contain universal joints to allow it to deviate
somewhat from a straight line. Other arrangements are sometimes found on
different types of vehicles.
22
For example, a tiller or rear wheel steering.
Tracked vehicles such as tanks usually employ differential steering that is, the
tracks are made to move at different speeds or even in opposite directions to bring
about a change of course.
5.Light brackets:
Headlamps must be kept in proper alignment (or "aim"). Regulations for aim vary
from country to country and from beam specification to beam specification. This
gives all vehicles roughly equal seeing distance and all drivers roughly equal
glare.
23
6.Frames:
7.Chain drive:
The chain in this application is so designed that each consecutive link fits over a
sprocket, the distance between links being called the pitch. The relative speed of
the wheels varies according to their relative circumferences and, thus, the number
of sprockets on each.

7. WORKING PRINCIPLE
25
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Our project is to the turn the right light bracket to the right, when the vehicle turns
to right leaving the left bracket to remain in standstill position, and vice versa.
When the steering steers to the right, a sprocket attached to the steering rod rotates
which in turn connected to the other sprocket through a chain. The sizes of the
sprockets were designed in such a way that, if the smaller sprocket rotates four
full complete rotations the larger sprocket will rotate once. Also the small gear,
which is attached to the same shaft as of the larger sprocket, also rotates along
with the sprocket.
A larger gear of the former is chosen, which is twice its diameter, is meshed to
transmit the motion. After this, the rotation of cam is achieved by fixing the cam
in the same shaft of the larger gear. The spherical edged follower is attached to
the cam is used to convert the rotary motion of cam into reciprocating motion. So
the right light bracket moves according to the movement of the follower. At the
same time, the cam at the other end remains in the dwell period, which results in
the stand still position of the light brackets.
The light bracket will returns back to its original position, using the spring
mechanism attached to it.
When the vehicle turns to left, the left bracket alone turns to the left leaving the
right light bracket in standstill position.

Conclusions
Before we undertook this project our knowledge about directional headlights was
limited. After doing an extensive research for this project we have a wider
knowledge of this field in automotive technology, learnt useful information about
different types of directional headlights. We have searched the library of the
college for relevant books and the internet for additional information. During the
build of an experimental model of directional headlights on a vehicle we have
improved our DIY skills and technical problem solving ability .Carrying out test
with the project vehicle has proved that this concept works and although such
lights are not widely used even nowadays, it does support the driver’s vision
during night-time driving, helps to reduce black spots while cornering and
therefore reduces the risk of accidents, by helping to notice persons or objects
hidden in a bend earlier in advance. We are looking forward to see more road
vehicles equipped with directional headlights in serial production.
