Ensuring driving safety on mountain roads at night is highly challenging due to limited visibility and the complex road conditions characterized by sharp curves. To address this issue, this paper presents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework that integrates vehicle trajectory tracking with adaptive headlight control. The proposed method aims to optimize both vehicle driving behaviors and headlight illumination by adjusting the vehicle front lighting angle and distance, thereby maximizing visibility of the upcoming path while maintaining precise trajectory adherence. Several evaluation metrics are introduced to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of the approach. Simulation results on an S-shaped mountain road demonstrate that the proposed method not only achieves accurate trajectory tracking with reduced lateral errors but also ensures adequate lighting coverage, enhancing overall driving safety.
