Problems solved by technology

Thus, the peripheral areas of the glare area, which may have elements prone to dangerous situations, such as road or roadside obstacles or pedestrians, are less visible to the driver
Consequently, due to this greater contrast between the glare area and the peripheral areas, the vehicle's lighting arrangement may be insufficient for satisfactory visibility in these peripheral areas
Furthermore, because the light level itself is limited so as not to dazzle the driver of oncoming traffic, the contrast cannot be sufficiently reduced by increasing the light level of the lighting device

Embodiment Construction

[0033] The following embodiments are examples. Although the specification refers to one or more embodiments, this does not necessarily mean that every reference refers to the same embodiment or that a feature is only in use of a single embodiment. Simple features of different embodiments may likewise be combined to provide other embodiments.

[0034] figure 1 A partial cross-sectional view of a vehicle 20 including an assistance system according to an embodiment of the invention is schematically shown. The vehicle 20 is equipped in a conventional manner with lighting means 22 able to emit light beams using light sources to illuminate the road scene SR, and is controlled by the driver represented by his eyes 24 . The road scene corresponds to the road scene seen by the driver 24 of the vehicle 20 . In this case, the driver 24 sees the road scene ahead of the vehicle 20 through the windshield 26 .

[0035] The lighting device 22 is managed by a component 32 for managing the ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a motor vehicle driving aid system, the vehicle (20) comprising a lighting device (22), intended to illuminate a road scene (SR) at the front of the vehicle (20). The aid system is characterized in that the vehicle comprises detection means (26) for detecting an oncoming vehicle, and in that the aid system comprises control means (30) receiving information from the detection means (26), means (28, 34, 38, 40) for reducing the dazzle of the driver of the motor vehicle caused by the light emitted by the oncoming vehicle, these means being controlled by the control means (30), and means (32) for the management of the lighting device (22), designed to increase the lighting of the lighting device (22) of the vehicle (20) and to avoid dazzling of the driver of the oncoming vehicle, these means being controlled by the control means (30).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle. [0002] The present invention relates to a system for assisting the driving of a motor vehicle, particularly when the external light level is low and headlights are required to be on. Background technique [0003] The beams of light emitted by lighting devices equipping vehicles are subject to national and international regulations which set maximum and minimum intensities to be observed, for example on screens placed remote from the lighting device and on the axis of the lighting device. The objectives of these regulations are simultaneously: [0004] - provide the driver of a vehicle equipped with the lighting device with a satisfactory illumination of the road scene on which he is driving, so that the driver can understand his environment in an optimal state; and [0005] - Prevents dazzlement of drivers of other vehicles driving in the opposite direction (oncoming vehicles)...
