Traffic safety at night depends on glare and visibility aspects of the driving track and car environment. Glare and visibility cannot be analysed separately. In addition to developing new sources of light (example with better Xenon lamps with a ceramic lamp wall, to be shown for the first time at ISAL 2011, or the new 25W Xenon lamps), there is the development of AFS and Adaptive Lighting Systems (dynamic vertical cutoff, glare-free high beams, cornering lights, bending lights, motorway lights) .
All these above-mentioned light systems can work only when the questions raised by headlamp cleaning and leveling systems are solved satisfactorily.
