Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014124895A1] The invention relates to a method for determining the condition of the road ahead in a vehicle, according to which method the road surface (113) is illuminated with sensor beams (106, 106'), said sensor beams (106, 106 ') being reflected and absorbed in accordance with the condition of the road surface (113) and the condition of the road being determined on the basis of the reflected sensor beams (115). The method is characterised in that the road surface (113) in front of the vehicle in the direction of travel is illuminated. The invention also relates to a corresponding beam sensor module.
