Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the advantage of a new headlamp system. This so-called smart headlamp system involves headlamps with variable beam patterns. We analytically investigated visibility for the driver and glare to other road users under several conditions including curves and straight roads. We conclude that the smart headlamp system provides overall benefits.
