DRIVING ASSISTANCE METHOD AND DEVICE
First Claim
1. A device for assisting with driving an automotive vehicle, said vehicle being equipped with at least one illuminating device able to emit a beam for illuminating a road scene (SR) in front of said vehicle, said assisting device comprising a variable transmission screen that is intended to be placed between said road scene (SR) and a driver of said vehicle, said assisting device being configured to, when active, synchronously control a light emission of at least one light source of said at least one illuminating device and a transmission coefficient of said variable transmission screen with a pulsed signal, wherein said assisting device is configured to continuously modify said pulsed signal, while said assisting device is active, so as to prevent antiphase and/or phase effects while and if a vehicle equipped with a device of the same type is approaching.

Abstract
A device for assisting with driving an automotive vehicle, the vehicle being equipped with at least one illuminating device able to emit a beam for illuminating a road scene (SR) in front of the vehicle, the assisting device comprising a variable transmission screen that is intended to be placed between the road scene (SR) and a driver of the vehicle, the assisting device being configured to, when active, synchronously control a light emission of at least one light source of the illuminating device and a transmission coefficient of the variable transmission screen with a pulsed signal. The assisting device is configured so as to prevent antiphase and/or phase effects while and if a vehicle equipped with a device of the same type is approaching.
