Résumé

The driver must always have clear visibility and the Automatic Headlamp Levelers (AHL) are one among several devices used to enhance vision in dim conditions. Typically, dynamic levelers use a stepper motor and present intrinsic play due to the utilization of geared mechanisms that transform the initial rotational movement in a linear one. However, some scenarii or even some lighting applications require a higher dynamic behavior with higher precision and repeatability for adjusting the headlamp cut-off, e.g. rough terrain driving, long range illumination with high power sources, etc. In this paper, we study the use of a piezoelectric motor as an actuator for dynamic headlamp leveling, a mechatronic actuator that may be the next step in automotive lighting. The paper describes an experimental setup for headlamp leveling using a piezoelectric motor and a first evaluation of the results. The system may be used to compensate the short time pitch angles caused by the driving dynamics besides offering ultra-high precision of ±0.003°.
