Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6246810
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling a lighting system for a vehicle (2), including a plurality of light sources that generate a light beam (1), the method including: a step of detecting an object (5) in front of the vehicle (2), a step of creating a shadow area (8) in the light beam (1) depending on the detection performed in the detection step, the shadow area (8) being created in the light beam in a space (10) strictly including the detected object (5), the method being characterized in that the shadow area (8) is created by turning off at least one of the light sources when the light intensity generated by said light source in the space (10) including the object (5) is greater than a light intensity threshold, the light intensity threshold being strictly greater than zero and determined depending on an angular position of the object (5) relative to an axis of movement of the vehicle and/or to the direction of movement of the object (5) relative to the vehicle (2) and/or the distance thereof relative to the vehicle (2). The invention can be used for motor vehicles.
