Abstract
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.
