    摘要: A process is provided for controlling a headlamp of a motor vehicle. The headlamp includes a first light source module and a second light source module. The light source modules each feature several light sources that emit light. The light emitted by the light sources of the light source module represents a first light distribution, and the light emitted by the light sources of the second light source module represents a second light distribution. The first light distribution and the second light distribution partially overlap. The first light distribution and the second light distribution together form an overall light distribution. A subarea of the overall light distribution is formed only by the first light distribution, and the subarea is a vertical edge area of the overall light distribution.

    摘要: A method for controlling a headlamp of a motor vehicle, the headlamp comprising a plurality of light sources. A projection symbol to be projected by the headlamp and a position and a size of the projection symbol are determined. A respective first luminous intensity for the light sources for the projection of the projection symbol at the position with the size and a first indicator, which contains an indication of how greatly the individual first luminous intensities differ from one another are determined. The position and/or the size of the projection symbol is changed. A respective second luminous intensity for the light sources for the projection of the projection symbol at the changed position and/or with the changed size and a second indicator, which contains an indication of how greatly the individual second luminous intensities differ from one another are determined. The projection symbol subsequently projected.

    摘要: A method for controlling two lighting modules of a headlight, including the following steps: definition of a non-dazzling region, wherein the non-dazzling region is at least within the second region; reduction of the brightness of the light emitted by the two lighting modules toward the non-dazzling region; determination as to whether an adjacent region exists that directly adjoins the non-dazzling region horizontally and that is a horizontal edge region of the first region; and reduction of the brightness of the light emitted by the first lighting module toward the adjacent region if the adjacent region has been determined.

    摘要: A procedure is provided for actuating at least one light module of a light unit of a vehicle, with at least one status recognition device for identifying a vehicle status and/or at least one surroundings recognition device for identifying a vehicle's surroundings, and with a light control system. The light module is automatically actuated by the status recognition device and/or the surroundings recognition device by means of the light control system depending on at least one input signal of the light control system. In order to improve a light distribution adapted to the respective driving situation, the light unit features a light distribution recognition device for identifying a light distribution of a light beam emitted by the light module into the surroundings of the vehicle and that the light module be automatically actuated by means of the light control system depending on at least one input signal of the light control system from the light distribution recognition device. Furthermore, the invention relates to a light unit for a vehicle, a computer program product and a machine-readable medium.

    摘要: A method is provided for controlling a headlamp of a motor vehicle. An object is detected by an object detecting device of the motor vehicle. An angle is determined between a geometrical longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle passing through the object detecting device and a geometrical connecting line between the object detecting device and the object. A glare reduction range of the headlamp is determined using the angle without taking into account a total distance between the object and the motor vehicle, the headlamp illuminating the glare reduction range with a lower brightness than areas adjacent to the glare reduction range.

    摘要: A procedure is provided for actuating at least one light module of the light unit of a vehicle with a plurality of light sources and a light control system automatically actuating the light module. At least two first light distribution arrangements are generated and first data sets corresponding to the first light distribution arrangements are stored in a memory of the light control system. In order to implement a plurality of light distribution arrangements with less effort, at least one second light distribution arrangement is allocated to at least one pairing of two of the at least two first light distribution arrangements, and actuation of the light module for generating this at least one second light distribution arrangement is performed depending on the first datasets of the assigned pairing from the first light distribution arrangements.

    摘要: An illuminating device, a method and a computer program product to control an illuminating device for a vehicle which illuminates the surroundings of a vehicle are provided. The illuminating device has multiple illuminating elements which can emit an independent dimmable or switchable luminous flux at a respective solid angle, and thus each illuminates a respective area of the surroundings with an illuminance. The illuminance is adjusted depending on the distance of the area from the illuminating element or the illuminating device.
