Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for adapting a headlight beam boundary of a light cone of at least one headlight of a vehicle includes the following steps: detecting at least one area of a roadway, the area being situated in the travel direction of the vehicle; determining a topography of the at least one area of the roadway; and providing a control signal for adapting the headlight beam boundary as a function of the topography.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for adapting a headlight beam boundary of a light cone of at least one headlight of a vehicle, the method comprising: detecting, by a sensor, at least a first area of a roadway that is situated ahead of the vehicle in a travel direction of the vehicle; determining, by processing circuitry, a topography of the first area of the roadway; determining, by the processing circuitry, a difference between the topography of the first area of the roadway…
