ALIGARH, September 23: A group of students of Department of Mechanical Engineering, Zakir Husain College of Engineering & Technology, Aligarh Muslim University has succeeded in developing a mechanism called “Flexible Headlight System for Four-wheeler Vehicles”, that improves illumination condition of roads during night driving while taking a turn. The mechanism has been developed as a part of their B. Tech Project.
Flexible Headlight System links the steering of a four-wheeler vehicle to its headlights. It is devised so that the headlight beam rotates in the direction the vehicle is steered, against the fact that conventional headlight beams are always in alignment with the hood of the vehicle. This mechanism aims at improving illumination of road while the vehicle covers a dark or partially dark road turn. This will reduce the chances of road accidents. The Flexible Headlight System will be more useful in hilly regions where roads have frequent sharp turns. In Flexible Headlight System, the headlight beam orientation is controlled by steering itself. This system is claimed to be purely mechanical in nature and no electronic equipment is used which will keep its cost low.
The mechanism has been developed by a group of students comprising Mr. Aslam Adil, Mr. Rafid Suhail and Mr. Mohammad Irfan under the supervision and guidance of Dr. Mohammed Ali, Associate Professor of Department of Mechanical Engineering. Prof. S.M.A. Rizvi, Chairman of the Department and Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Technology has appreciated the great achievement. The new development has been filed for Patent at Indian Patent Office, New Delhi.
