Motor vehicle headlights with intelligent highway-light signalers

Abstract

The invention relates to a lighting device for a motor vehicle (10) that has one or preferably two such lighting devices that are set up to produce a headlamp flasher signaling function, the lighting device being associated with a controller, the controller controlling the lighting device upon activation of the headlamp flasher signaling function to produce, from the lighting device, a headlamp flasher light distribution, especially in the form of a high beam light distribution (LHV), especially for a defined period of time, in an area in front of the at least one lighting device or in an area in front of the vehicle (10). It is provided that in the case in which the motor vehicle is located on a one-way multilane road (FB) that can only be traveled in one direction (R) and a motor vehicle (20) is driving in front in the lane (FS1) of the motor vehicle (10), the at least one lighting device is set up to produce, in accordance with control commands of the controller (7), a modified headlamp flasher light distribution which only illuminates a subarea (LHV′) of the area (LHV) illuminable by the unmodified headlamp flasher light distribution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a control device for actuating at least one lighting device for a motor vehicle or for actuating at least one motor vehicle headlight having at least one such lighting device, said At least one lighting device is designed at least to generate a light signaling function (Lichthupen-Signalisierungsfunktion), wherein when the light signaling function is activated, the control device actuates the at least one lighting device in the following manner or The at least one motor vehicle headlight: in particular for a defined period of time, in the area in front of the at least one lighting device or in the area in front of the motor vehicle, produced by the at least one lighting device, in particular in the form of a remote Light Annunciators for Light Distribution - Light Distribution. [0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a lighting device for a motor vehicle or for a motor vehicle headlight, the at least one lighting device b...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, the disadvantage of using light indicators in particular in conjunction with "flashing through" is that the high beam distribution produced by passing will also cause traffic participants, ie occupants, especially motor vehicles on other lanes of the roadway dazzles drivers, potentially irritating and / or distracting them
