The Homework Team on ADB/AFS status report to the GRE Taskforce “Glare prevention” documenting timeline activities from February to June 2026, including seven HWT meetings and three TFGP sessions. The team listed system descriptions, benefits, disadvantages, conducted literature review, identified elements causing glare, negative effects to ADB/AFS performance, and improvable requirements. The team drafted recommendations addressing enforcement of headlamp cleaning, reduction of 2000lm limit, manual override requirements, improved detection and camera specifications, motorway ADB usage, cleaning systems, beam pattern dimming, and adaptive beam patterns for various driving conditions.
Adaptive Driving Beam: A main beam of an AFS that adapts its beam pattern to the presence of oncoming and preceding vehicles in order to improve the long-range visibility for the driver without causing discomfort, distraction or glare to other road users.
Adaptive Front-lighting System: A lighting system providing beams with differing characteristics for automatic adaptation to varying conditions of use of the dipped-beam (passing-beam) and, if it applies, the main-beam (driving-beam)
