A system for controlling equipment of a controlled vehicle is provided. The system is configured to image a scene external and forward of the controlled vehicle and to generate image data corresponding to acquired images. The system includes a controller for receiving and analyzing the image data and for generating a control signal in response to analysis of the image data and in response to a selected mode of operation. The controller analyzes the image data in order to detect at least one characteristic in the image data and also selects a mode of operation from at least the following modes of operation: a dark village mode; a bright village mode; and at least one non-village mode. The controller selects a dark village mode if the at least one characteristic reaches a first threshold, a bright village mode if the at least one characteristic reaches a second threshold, and at least one non-village mode if the controller is not operating in either the dark village mode or the bright village mode.
