Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a headlamp for vehicles having a light source unit containing a plurality of light source elements for emitting light, an optical unit for mapping the light source elements to form a plurality of illumination areas from which a predetermined light distribution is composed, a control unit for generating a control signal by which the light source elements can be individually controlled depending on an ambient signal, an ambient sensor unit for generating the ambient signal by which ambient parameters in an area in front of the vehicle can be determined. The control unit is configured to generate a control signal dependent on the ambient signal, so that only those light source elements are controlled which are mapped in such a part of the light distribution in which there is a changed illuminance due to a light emitted by an external light source.
A headlamp for vehicles comprising:
A method for controlling a headlamp for vehicles, wherein a plurality of light source elements are individually controlled depending on ambient parameters and are mapped via an optical unit to form illumination areas of a predetermined light distribution, wherein illuminance values of illumination areas of the light distribution generated in an area in front of the vehicle are determined, and in that, when a predetermined deviation of the determined illuminance values from predetermined illuminance values generated by mapping the respective light source elements is exceeded, the corresponding light source elements are dimmed such that the determined illuminance values lie within the predetermined deviation.
