Procedure (200), comprising: Obtaining (201) information regarding an instantaneous angle of the sun; Determine (216) the
position of the sun using the information obtained in a Cartesian coordinate
system; Defining (218) a
ray (500) from a point of particular importance (400) within a vehicle (100) in the direction of the sun's position; and Determine (220) whether the
ray (500) penetrates a transparent surface (110) of the vehicle (100), for use in determining (226, 228) whether the spot of particular importance (400) is irradiated by the sun's rays when the
ray (500) penetrates the transparent surface (110); wherein the transparent area (110) comprises a plurality of glass surfaces (112, 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 124) of the vehicle (100), wherein the method (200) further comprises: Define (220) a plurality of planar, bounded area regions (600, 700, 800) for the plurality of glass surfaces (112, 114, 116, 118, 120, 122, 124); wherein the step of determining (220) whether the ray (500) penetrates the transparent surface (110) includes determining (221) whether the ray (500) passes through a region consisting of the majority of substantially planar, enclosed planar areas (600, 700, 800) permeate, for use in determining (226, 228) whether the area of particular importance (400) is irradiated by the sun's rays if the ray (500) penetrates the transparent surface (110); wherein the method (200) comprises determining (222) a point of penetration in the form of an intersection point between the ray (500) and at least one of the plurality of planar, bounded, two-dimensional areas (600, 700, 800); and wherein the procedure (200) includes determining (224) whether the intersection point is located within a triangle formed by boundary points which defines the corresponding area (600, 700, 800) of the plurality of planar, bounded area regions (600, 700, 800).
