Description:HIGH BEAM INDICATION ON VEHICLE
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter generally relates to system and method for an indication in a vehicle. More particularly, but not exclusively to a 5 system and method of High beam indication on a vehicle.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of automotive safety and driver assistance systems, the effective utilization of high beams remains a critical aspect for ensuring optimal visibility while driving. High beams provide enhanced illumination, 10 particularly in poorly lit or rural areas, aiding drivers in detecting obstacles and potential hazards on the road. However, improper usage of high beams can pose safety risks to both the driver and other road users, such as blinding oncoming traffic or failing to deactivate them when not needed. Various technical challenges have persisted in the effective management and 15 indication of high beam usage in vehicles, prompting the need for innovative solutions.
[0003] Traditional high beam systems rely solely on manual toggling by the driver, leading to instances where drivers forget to switch between high and low beams appropriately. This manual oversight can result in suboptimal 20 visibility conditions or inadvertent glare for other drivers. Existing systems often lack the capability to adapt high beam usage dynamically based on changing environmental conditions, such as varying levels of ambient light or the presence of oncoming traffic. This inability to adjust high beams in real-time compromises both safety and energy efficiency. In conventional 25 system drivers may not receive adequate feedback regarding the status of their high beams, leading to uncertainty about whether they are in use or inadvertently left activated. This lack of clarity contributes to instances of improper high beam usage on the road. High beam systems typically operate independently of other driver assistance technologies, such as collision 30 avoidance or adaptive lighting systems. This lack of integration hampers the overall effectiveness of safety features and fails to leverage synergies for
3
enhanced road safety. Traditional systems often lack robust mechanisms for logging and analysing high beam usage patterns, hindering efforts to optimize performance and identify areas for improvement in vehicle safety systems. [0004] Traditional vehicles are equipped with manual switches that allow drivers to toggle between high and low beams. While this method provides 5 direct control to the driver, it relies heavily on human intervention, leading to instances of forgetfulness or negligence in switching beams appropriately. Some vehicles incorporate static high beam assist systems that automatically switch between high and low beams based on ambient light conditions and the presence of oncoming vehicles. These systems typically use sensors to 10 detect ambient light levels and adjust beam intensity accordingly. In conventional system vehicles feature dashboard indicators or warning lights to inform drivers of their high beam status. These indicators typically illuminate when high beams switch is in ON position even without the illumination switch being in the ON position, such a system provide false 15 indication to the driver of the vehicle that the illumination unit is in an High beam position. Some conventional vehicles allow drivers to manually adjust the intensity or range of their high beams through vehicle settings or control panels. This feature aims to provide drivers with more control over their lighting preferences. 20
[0005] Thus, there is a need in the art for a method and a system for High beam indication of a vehicle which addresses at least the aforementioned problems and other problems of known art.
[0006] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through 25 comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] According to embodiments illustrated herein, the present invention provides a system and method for a high beam indication of a vehicle.
[0008] The present invention provides a method of beam indication in vehicle, where a control unit receives an ignition ON signal from the ignition 5 unit and checks if there's a high beam signal from either the beam control switch or pass-by switch. It also assesses if the engine RPM exceeds a set value. If the RPM is high enough, the control unit sends a high beam signal to the display unit, indicating the activation of high beams, which are then displayed on the display unit. In one scenario, the predetermined range for 10 engine RPM lies between 900 and 1500 rpm. In an embodiment, the display unit corresponds to the instrument cluster found in a vehicle. In another embodiment the signal transmitted to the display unit serves to indicate the activation of high beams. In an embodiment, the control unit is programmed to issue a warning signal to the display unit if the high beam function is 15 engaged without the headlamp being in operation. Additionally, the control unit is set up to disable the high beam indicator on the display unit when the engine RPM drops below the specified threshold. Moreover, the control unit is further programmed to distinguish between manual activation of the high beam by the driver and automatic activation triggered by the predetermined 20 threshold. The display unit is equipped to deliver supplementary visual or audible alerts to the driver in cases of malfunction or improper utilization of the high beam. In an embodiment the control unit is designed to adjust the brightness or duration of the high beam indicator on the display unit based on driving conditions or user preferences. In an embodiment environmental 25 factor such as ambient light conditions and the presence of oncoming traffic are taken into account in determining whether to activate the high beam indicator. Furthermore, the activation of the high beam indicator is coordinated with other vehicle safety systems, such as automatic braking or collision avoidance systems, to enhance overall vehicle safety. 30

The control 5 unit checks if an illumination unit switch is in the ON position and if a high beam signal is available from either the beam control switch or pass-by switch, determines if the engine RPM surpasses a preset value, and if so, transmits a high beam signal to the display unit for indication. This process is repeated upon each ignition signal received, ensuring that the high beam is 10 appropriately displayed when conditions are met. In an embodiment, the beam control switches are at least one of a High-Low beam switch and a Pass-by switch. In an embodiment, the predefined value is in the range of 900 to 1500 rpm. In an embodiment, the determination of whether to activate the high beam indication further considers environmental factors such as ambient 15 light conditions and the presence of oncoming traffic. In an embodiment, the activation of the high beam indication is synchronized with other vehicle safety systems, such as an automatic braking or a collision avoidance system, to enhance overall vehicle safety. In an embodiment, the activation of the high beam indication triggers a data logging event, recording the usage patterns of 20 the high beam and headlamp system for analysis and optimization purposes. In an embodiment, the instrument cluster further includes a user interface allowing the driver to customize the activation thresholds and behavior of the high beam indication based on personal preferences. In an embodiment, the means for determining the activation of the high beam indication incorporates 25 machine learning algorithms to continuously adapt to the driver's behavior and environmental conditions. In an embodiment, the means for activating the high beam indication includes haptic feedback mechanisms integrated into the steering wheel or dashboard, providing tactile alerts to the driver when the high beam is activated.

This dynamic approach ensures high beams 10 are activated only when warranted by driving conditions, enhancing both safety and energy efficiency.
[00032] The present disclosure integrates high beam indication with other driver assistance systems, such as automatic braking or collision avoidance systems.

This ensures compatibility with future 5 technologies and facilitates ongoing enhancements to road safety and vehicle performance.
[00037] In light of the above-mentioned advantages and the technical advancements provided by the disclosed method and system, the claimed steps as discussed above are not routine, conventional, or well understood in 10 the art, as the claimed steps enable the following solutions to the existing problems in conventional technologies. Further, the claimed steps clearly bring an improvement in the functioning of the configuration itself as the claimed steps provide a technical solution to a technical problem.
[00038] A working example of the present subject matter shall be described 15 to provide further clarity. Let's consider an example of the claimed invention in a hypothetical vehicle scenario:
[00039] Scenario: Imagine a vehicle equipped with the present subject matter of beam indication. The vehicle is traveling on a rural road at night with varying ambient light conditions and occasional oncoming traffic. 20
[00040] Components:
Control Unit: Centralized unit responsible for receiving signals and coordinating high beam indication.
Beam control switches (106): Manual switches allowing the driver to toggle between high and low beams. 25
Pass-by switch (106a): Additional switch for temporarily activating high beams for providing indication to oncoming traffic.
Engine RPM Sensor: Sensor providing real-time engine RPM data.
14
Display unit (116): Instrument cluster display providing high beam indication to the driver.
Connectivity Features: Enable remote monitoring, over-the-air updates, and integration with external systems.
[00041] Working Example: The vehicle's ignition unit sends an ignition ON 5 signal to the control unit as the driver starts the engine. The control unit initializes and begins monitoring for high beam activation signals. High Beam Activation: As the vehicle accelerates and the engine RPM exceeds a predefined threshold (e.g., 1000 RPM), the control unit checks for signals from the beam control switches (106). If the driver toggles the 10 high beam switch, indicating a need for enhanced visibility, and there are no conflicting signals from the Pass-by switch (106a), the control unit activates the high beams. While high beams are active, the control unit continuously monitors driving conditions, including ambient light levels and the presence of oncoming traffic. If the ambient light is sufficient or 15 oncoming traffic is detected, the control unit adjusts the high beam intensity or temporarily deactivates them, ensuring safety and minimizing glare for other drivers. The control unit sends a high beam signal to the display unit (116), illuminating an icon or indicator on the instrument cluster. This provides clear visual feedback to the driver that high beams 20 are in use, enhancing situational awareness. Through the user interface, the driver can customize activation thresholds and behavior of the high beam indication based on personal preferences. Additionally, if high beams are activated without the headlamp being in use, the control unit sends a warning signal to the display unit (116), alerting the driver to the 25 improper usage. The system logs high beam usage patterns, including activation times and driving conditions, for analysis and optimization purposes. Connectivity features enable remote monitoring and over-the-air updates, ensuring the system remains up-to-date and compatible with emerging technologies. 30
[00042] Specific Values/Parameters:
15
Predefined engine RPM threshold: 1000 RPM
