Abstract
A method for traffic-dependent control of beam projection of headlights of motor vehicles requires the passing of images from at least two image recording units to a control unit for evaluation. A road profile is generated as a three-dimensional image by reference to the images from the at least two image recording units so that predictive control of the vehicle lighting is carried out on a basis of the determined road profile.
