This invention provides a method for detecting a failure in a solid-state light source of an automotive lighting device. This method provides an estimated temperature profile for the lighting device, measures an actual temperature profile of the lighting device and compares the estimated temperature profile with the actual temperature profile in order to detect a difference between them.

Method for detecting a failure in a solid-state light source of an automotive lighting device and automotive arrangement

A method for projecting at least one image, by a projection system of a motor vehicle. The method includes the following steps: detecting a disruption area, determining the position of the driver in a predefined reference frame referred to as the projection reference frame, calculating a transformation matrix for transforming an image depending on the determined position of the driver, generating the control signal, the control signal being obtained by applying said transformation matrix to at least one stored image, controlling the imaging device from the control signal so as to project a transformed image, the pictogram appearing in a vertical plane (PV) to said driver in the transformed image, and projecting the transformed image.

Method for projecting an image by a projection system of a motor vehicle, and associated projection system

A method for projecting at least one image, by a projection system of a motor vehicle comprising a device for detecting an event, an estimation device capable of estimating the time taken to reach the event, a processing unit capable of generating a control signal, a projection device capable of receiving the control signal and projecting digital images, and a storage unit storing at least one image representative of a pictogram. The method includes detecting an event, estimating the time taken to reach the event, selecting at least one image representing a pictogram characteristic of the detected event, and establishing a sequence of images representing an animation of the pictogram. The sequence of images is paced depending on the time estimated in estimation, and projecting the sequence of images onto the roadway.
