The invention discloses an
overtaking control system and an
overtaking control method on the basis of a high beam and low beam integrated
xenon headlamp. The
control system comprises a combination switch, a
ballast, a
relay, a vehicle body controller, an
electromagnetic valve and a
light barrier driven by a motor, wherein one end of the combination switch is grounded and the other end of the combination switch is connected with the input end of the vehicle body controller; a first output port OUT1 of the vehicle body controller is connected with one end of a
relay coil J1; a second output port OUT2 of the vehicle body controller is connected with one end of an
electromagnetic valve coil J2; the other end of the
relay coil J1 and the other end of the
electromagnetic valve coil J2 are connected with a +12V power supply; a
ballast loop is formed by a relay switch K1, the
ballast and the supply power; and an electromagnetic valve loop is formed by an electromagnetic valve switch K2 and the motor. In the control method, the
overtaking is controlled by adopting the vehicle body controller; if a vehicle is overtaken when a low beam lamp is not turned on, the charging time of the ballast can be ensured; and if the vehicle is overtaken when the low beam lamp is turned on, the charge-
discharge of the ballast can be avoided, so that the service life of the ballast is prolonged.
