Abstract: Number of vehicles on our roads is increasing day by day, also the technology has developed but the safety factor is always needed to be considered. Now a day’s vehicles come fitted with lots of safety features. One of the essential safety feature that need to be installed is automatic upper-dipper control of headlight, this feature can mainly use during night time driving. Human eyes are very sensitive to the light, if eyes suddenly comes in contact with the light after darkness, cornea present in eyes gets contract i.e. vision gets blank and require some time to recover the vision. Many times the situation comes when suddenly vehicle approaches from front with headlight in upper mode causes blindness to the eyes of the driver. During that time vehicle covers some amount of distance, here chances of accident may occur. It is a sheer luck if person goes safely through that situation. To overcome this manual dipping problem, an automatic mechanism has made to dip the headlight automatically whenever situation occurs. This can reduce number of accidents during night time and provide comfortable driving. Operating principle, working and design of PCB is briefly discussed in this paper.
