AFS (Adaptive Front Lighting System) provides
optimal illumination in various driving conditions by automatically
modifying the beam pattern of the headlighting system in response
to vehicle speed, weather conditions and road situations (town,
country, motorway). This is achieved with a combination of additional
lamps and/or active beam pattern control. There are variations
in complexity possible, based on manufacturer preference.
AFS controls the light distribution based on
the following-
Road condition change
- Highway- High speed, multi-lane divided road
- Country road- 2 lane road with small radius
curves
- City street- Low speed, high traffic with
intersections and residential areas
Driving condition change:
- Driving speed
- Presence of oncoming and preceding vehicles,
pedestrians
Weather condition change
- Rain, fog, snow, dust storms
