METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING VERTICAL LIGHT-DARK LIMITS IN HEADLIGHTS WITHIN A TILT RANGE

摘要

Method and device for controlling vertical light-dark limits in headlights of a motor vehicle within a tilt range, wherein: the control device (10) comprises a first input (12) for a first signal that indicates the direction, relative to a longitudinal axis (I) of the motor vehicle, in which a light source approaches the motor vehicle (F1) from an oncoming vehicle (F2) or projects from the motor vehicle (F1) in the same direction of travel, wherein the control device is suitable for and designed to generate a control signal for the right headlight (50) and a control signal for the left headlight (40) of the vehicle (F1), said control signals adjusting the vertical light-dark limits in accordance with said first signal, for adjusting a right vertical light-dark limit and a left vertical light-dark limit for reducing the glare of an approaching or advancing vehicle (F2), wherein the control device (10) is suitable for and designed to adjust the right light-dark limit in a predetermined tilt range for the right light-dark limit between a right limit and a left limit and for adjusting the left light-dark limit in a predetermined tilt range between a left limit and a right limit, wherein the control device (10) comprises a second input (13) for a second signal that indicates the radius of a curve traversed or to be traversed by the motor vehicle, and wherein the control device (10) is suitable for and designed to specify at least the left limit of the tilt range of the right light-dark limit and the right limit of the tilt range of the left light-dark limit in accordance with the second signal.
