Abstract:
A system and method for controlling an overall light beam emitted by an automotive vehicle headlamp and formed from selectively activatable beam segments produced independently from one another by illuminating means borne by the headlamp, the segments together forming an overall light beam when they are all activated and placed successively side-by-side.The instantaneous speed of the vehicle is compared to a first preset speed threshold, and a zone of high light intensity to be produced when the instantaneous speed is higher than the first preset speed threshold is determined.
