AFLS(Adaptive Front-lighting System)is a headlamp
orientation control system that takes into account both steering angle
and vehicle speed to orient the headlamps to an angle that provides
better nighttime visibility.
Variable conditions make lighting pattern of running vehicle kaleidoscope.
Component of AFLS
1.
Input part : It is provided that information of speed sensor, height sensor and so on related to condition of vehicle.
2.
Control part (AFLS Unit) : It controls Output part by analyzing/judging Input signal.
3.
Output part : It drive Low beam of H/Lamp to upper/lower and
left/right side optimum lighting pattern according to output control
signal of AFLS Unit.
Main function of AFLS
Content
Description
1
Dynamic Bending (Swivelling)
•
Providing optimum beam pattern in the curve road
1)
Enhanced visibility in the curve road
2)
Drive Low beam to left / right side
2
Automatic Leveling (Leveling)
•
Compensating Low beam according to inclination of vehicle
1)
Compensation according to static condition (Load)
2)
Compensation according to dynamic condtion (Quick start, Sudden stop )
3
Fail-safe
•
Fail-safe reaction while detecting system failure and malfunction
1)
Detecting signal / communication error for Swivelling
2)
Detecting signal /communication error for Leveling
3)
Detecting system failure
Advantage of AFLS
Content
Description
1
Enhanced stability
•
Visibility Guarantee In case of curve road
•
According to vehicle Speed/Steering angle, speed/angle of
Swivel actuator is automatically controlled to provide optimum lighting
pattern
•
Fail-safe reaction application for Driver on opposite side road
→In case error communication,automatically return initial position of Swivel actuator
2
Enhanced convenience
•
AFLS operating application by driver''s selection(AFLS Off switch)
•
Providing Diagnostic function for detecting system failure
and malfunction and check up data information (by using Diagnostic
equipment )
•
Reduced wiring-harness by Applying CAN/LIN communication in vehicle

Operation
Component
AFLS Unit (A)
1.
General
System initialization, In case of input Engine signal (AFLS ECU, Levelling /Swivelling motor)
Adaptation of AFLS OFF switch
AFLS operate normally ,only under turning auto light switch on.
Providing Tel-tale function of AFLS (display ‘AFLS’ on dashboard).
In case of system failure, display light on ‘AFLS’ on dashboard
2.
Main function
Swivelling function
Levelling function
Processing signal of Height sensor
Control the clynamic bending light
Swivelling Motor (A)
1.
General
communicate AFLS Unit through LIN protocol
Robust control to Disturbance
Doesn''t work out of rated voltage range.
2.
Main function & Rating
Drive Low beam to left / right side
Fail-safe function : In case of detecting malfunction or system failure , drive to secure position
Levelling Motor (A)
1.
Main spec
communicate AFLS Unit through LIN protocol
Robust control to Disturbance
Doesn''t work out of rated voltage range.
2.
Main function & Rating
Drive Low beam to upper / lower
Fail-safe function : In case of detecting malfunction or system failure , drive to secure position
Height Sensor
1.
General
Height Sensor connecting body & suspension measures inclination information from load condition.
Vehicle having the Steel-suspension system transmits inclination signal to AFLS ECU by using Hard-wire.
