A method is provided for controlling a headlamp of a motor vehicle. An object is detected by an object detecting device of the motor vehicle. An angle is determined between a geometrical longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle passing through the object detecting device and a geometrical connecting line between the object detecting device and the object. A glare reduction range of the headlamp is determined using the angle without taking into account a total distance between the object and the motor vehicle, the headlamp illuminating the glare reduction range with a lower brightness than areas adjacent to the glare reduction range.

Method for controlling a headlamp of a motor vehicle

A process is provided for controlling a headlamp of a motor vehicle. The headlamp includes a first light source module and a second light source module. The light source modules each feature several light sources that emit light. The light emitted by the light sources of the light source module represents a first light distribution, and the light emitted by the light sources of the second light source module represents a second light distribution. The first light distribution and the second light distribution partially overlap. The first light distribution and the second light distribution together form an overall light distribution. A subarea of the overall light distribution is formed only by the first light distribution, and the subarea is a vertical edge area of the overall light distribution.

A control device for a first motor vehicle, and for dimming lights for vehicles ahead and/or oncoming vehicles during turning maneuvers includes a first interface with a recognition device for the purpose of recognizing vehicles ahead and/or oncoming vehicles, a second interface with headlights, wherein the control device selects different light distributions of the headlights and generates an adjusting signal at the second interface for adjusting the selected light distribution at the headlights to dim the headlights if a signal is present at the first interface indicating at least one vehicle ahead or oncoming. The control device has a third interface for indicating the start of the recognition of a turning maneuver of a vehicle ahead, wherein the dimmed light distribution of the headlights remains set for a predetermined distance or a predetermined time if the signal is present.

A system for producing a light beam in the front area of a vehicle includes a headlamp with an LED array, a device for detecting objects in the area, a device for determining the position of a detected object relative to the vehicle. The light beam produced by the array has a horizontal illuminance distribution wherein the horizontal angles of the contributions of at least two LEDs to the illuminance distribution overlap at least partially, each illuminance being selectively varied for different positions in front of the vehicle and different horizontal angles relative to a reference direction. Depending on the detected object's position to the vehicle and an object width, a glare-critical horizontal angle range is determined, and the individual LEDs arc controlled, under consideration of how much the horizontal angle ranges of their contributions to the illuminance distribution overlap, such that an illuminance limit value is not exceeded.
