Abstract
A method for adjusting a light emission of at least one headlight of a vehicle includes: a step for detecting an unstable travel condition of the vehicle defined as having a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle differing by more than a tolerance range from a direction of motion of the vehicle; a step for providing a control signal for changing the light emission of the headlight of the vehicle in response to the detected unstable driving condition, the control signal being developed to effect a change in the light radiation characteristic of the at least one headlight of the vehicle, for adjusting the light emission.
Claims13
A method for adjusting a light emission of a headlight of a vehicle, comprising:
- detecting an unstable driving condition of the vehicle, wherein the unstable driving condition is defined as a condition in which a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle differs by more than a predetermined tolerance range from a direction of motion of the vehicle;
- providing a control signal for changing the light emission of the headlight of the vehicle in response to the detected unstable driving condition, wherein the control signal effects a change in light radiation characteristic of the headlight to adjust the light emission;
- and
- changing the light emission of the headlight of the vehicle;
- wherein the light radiation characteristic of the headlight is changed in such a way that at least one area between the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the direction of motion of the vehicle is lit up using a higher light intensity than before the change.
A device for adjusting a light emission of a headlight of a vehicle, comprising:
- a detection unit for detecting an unstable driving condition of the vehicle, wherein the unstable driving condition is defined as a condition in which a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle differs by more than a predetermined tolerance range from a direction of motion of the vehicle;
- and
- a control unit for providing a control signal for changing the light emission of the headlight of the vehicle in response to the detected unstable driving condition, wherein the control signal effects a change in light radiation characteristic of the headlight to adjust the light emission and wherein the light radiation characteristic of the headlight is changed in such a way that at least one area between the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the direction of motion of the vehicle is lit up using a higher light intensity than before the change.
A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium storing a computer program having program codes which, when executed on a computer, implements a method for adjusting a light emission of a headlight of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting an unstable driving condition of the vehicle, wherein the unstable driving condition is defined as a condition in which a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle differs by more than a predetermined tolerance range from a direction of motion of the vehicle;
- and
- providing a control signal for changing the light emission of the headlight of the vehicle in response to the detected unstable driving condition, wherein the control signal effects a change in light radiation characteristic of the headlight to adjust the light emission and wherein the light radiation characteristic of the headlight is changed in such a way that at least one area between the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the direction of motion of the vehicle is lit up using a higher light intensity than before the change.
