Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012171749A1] The invention relates to a method (200) and to a control unit (102) for actuating at least one headlamp (104) of a vehicle (100). The method (200) comprises a step of determining (202) a traffic density from information about road users in an area surrounding the vehicle (100). The method (200) further comprises a step of determining (204) a control parameter for controlling a beam characteristic of the headlamp (104) using the determined traffic density. The method (200) comprises a step of supplying (206) the control command for control of a beam characteristic of the headlamp (104) using the control parameter.
