Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for adjusting a luminosity of at least one headlight of a vehicle is described. The method includes a step of ascertaining an illumination intensity, the illumination intensity representing light that is incident at the vehicle. Furthermore, the method includes a step of determining a setpoint value for the luminosity while using the illumination intensity, the setpoint value being adjusted if the illumination intensity rises. The method also includes a step of providing a control signal for setting the luminosity of the at least one headlight while using the setpoint value.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for adjusting a luminosity of at least one headlight of a vehicle, the method comprising: ascertaining an illumination intensity, the illumination intensity representing an intensity of an incident light at the vehicle; determining a setpoint value for the luminosity of the at least one headlight, while using the illumination intensity, the setpoint value for the luminosity being adjusted when the illumination intensity is increasing; and provid…
