Method for controlling a light emission of a headlight of a vehicle

A device for controlling a light emission of at least one headlight of a vehicle, which has a traffic sign recognition device, comprising:

• a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to:
• receive at least one traffic sign recognition signal from an interface to the traffic sign recognition device, the at least one traffic sign recognition signal representing a traffic sign recognized in a course of road currently being traveled by the vehicle;
• set at least one of a debounce time and a debounce stretch for a change in the light emission of the at least one headlight between a first radiation characteristic and a second radiation characteristic as a function of the at least one traffic sign recognition signal;
• and
• delay the change of the light emission of the at least one headlight by the at least one of the debounce time set and the debounce stretch set, so as to control the light emission of the at least one headlight.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program, which is executable by a processor, comprising:

• a program code arrangement having program code for controlling a light emission of at least one headlight of a vehicle, which has a traffic sign recognition device, by performing the following:
• receiving at least one traffic sign recognition signal from an interface to the traffic sign recognition device, the at least one traffic sign recognition signal representing a traffic sign recognized in a course of road currently being traveled by the vehicle;
• setting at least one of a debounce time and a debounce stretch for a change in the light emission of the at least one headlight between a first radiation characteristic and a second radiation characteristic as a function of the at least one traffic sign recognition signal;
• and
• delaying the change of the light emission of the at least one headlight by the at least one of the debounce time set and the debounce stretch set, so as to control the light emission of the at least one headlight.
