Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this solution is that the timeout value does not take into account subsequent events, therefore, an arbitrary timeout of the override timer may cause the high beams to be enabled or disabled again during driving conditions not desired by the driver

Abstract

The present subject matter provides a method for an event-based override strategy for automatic high beam control. System and method for re-enabling automatic mode after manually overriding automatic mode of an automatic headlight control system of a motor vehicle monitors headlight status in a controller, recommends headlight status via automatic mode of an automatic headlight control system , monitors the driver's request for headlight state in the controller and returns the controller to automatic mode when the recommended headlight state matches the driver's request for headlight state.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter of the present invention relates to an automatic high beam control system for controlling the headlamps of a vehicle to switch between a low beam setting and a high beam setting, and more particularly to a manual A system and method for resuming automatic high beam control after an override. Background technique [0002] Automatic headlight systems are commonly used in motor vehicles to automatically control the function of the vehicle's headlights based on the operating state of the vehicle, the traffic environment or scene outside the vehicle, and ambient light levels. The automatic front lighting system also controls the high beam and low beam status of the headlights. Such an automatic front lighting system has the effect of alleviating the driver's need to switch between the low beam setting and the high beam setting. An additional advantage of being focused on the task of driving the vehicle. Specifically, automatic high beam...
