A number of factors are considered during the analysis of automobile transportation with respect to increasing safety. One of the vital factors for night-time travel is temporary blindness due to increase in the headlight intensity. While headlight intensity provides better visual acuity, it simultaneously affects oncoming traffic. This problem is encountered when both drivers are using a higher headlight intensity setting. Also, increased speed of the vehicles due to decreased traffic levels at night increases the severity of accidents. In order to reduce accidents due to temporary driver blindness, a wireless sensor network (WSN) based controller could be developed to transmit sensor data in a faster and an efficient way between cars. Low latency allows faster headlight intensity adjustment between the vehicles to drastically reduce the cause of temporary blindness. An attempt has been made to come up with a system which would sense the intensity of the headlight of the oncoming vehicle and depending on the threshold headlight intensity being set in the system it would automatically reduce the intensity of the headlight of the oncoming vehicle using wireless sensor network thus reducing the condition of temporary blindness caused due to excessive exposure to headlights.
