Abstract

This thesis examines the most common problems (such as glare and poor performance) of automobile headlights and provides theoretical solutions. The common problems are delineated by explaining and analysing the headlight’s elements such as light sources, optics, and the international laws they need to follow. These problems are then analysed more in depth, based on existing research and an online glare survey conducted by the author. Before coming up with solutions some of the existing state of the art technologies are described and then analysed, in order to garner inspiration for the final solutions and to evaluate their feasibility. By exploring how glare is treated in other industries, we can gather important evidence that could be applied to the automobile industry. Finally, a set of theoretical solutions is provided to eliminate the aforementioned issues, potentially providing glare-free and high quality and high-performance headlamp lighting in a real-life situation.
