Abstract

Method for controlling a lighting system with the lighting system including a plurality of light sources, wherein each light source is capable of emitting an elementary light beam with the vertical angular aperture of which is less than 1°. The method includes detecting a target object, determining a relative distance between a given point of the host vehicle sensor system and a detected point of the target object and determining a gradient of the road on which the target object is located, determining a lower angle and an upper angle between a given point of the host vehicle lighting system and a high cut-off point and a low cut-off point, controlling the light sources of the host vehicle lighting system in order to emit a pixelated light beam of the driving beam type in order to generate a dark zone extending substantially between the high and low cut-off points.
