METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A CORNERING LIGHT AND LIGHTING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling a predictive cornering light with at least one headlight with a pivoting means for the controlled pivoting of the headlight, wherein a monitoring device is provided, which monitors the roadway and/or lane in front of the vehicle, and a control unit is provided, which, on the basis of the data of the monitoring device, drives the pivoting means for setting the headlight for illuminating the roadway and/or lane. The invention also relates to a lighting device in this regard.

1. Method for controlling a predictive cornering light with at least one headlight with a pivoting means for the controlled pivoting of the headlight, wherein a monitoring device is provided, which monitors the roadway and/or lane in front of the vehicle and generates roadway data, wherein a control unit is provided, which, on the basis of the data of the monitoring device, drives the pivoting means for setting the headlight for illuminating the roadway and/or lane, wherein for maximizing the illumination of the roadway and/or lane, a model of the headlight light distribution is used in addition to the roadway data, wherein the deviation between the model of the headlight light distribution and the roadway on the basis of the roadway data is minimized by a rotation of the model of the headlight light distribution and a pivoting angle is determined on the basis of the resultant position of the model of the headlight light distribution, said pivoting angle being used for driving the headlight.
