Abstract
A method, a device, a computer program and a computer program product are described for controlling a lighting system of a motor vehicle, in particular a headlight system of a motor vehicle involved in road traffic. The control process involves performing the operations of detecting a current traffic situation having at least detecting a motor vehicle speed and detecting a state of the lighting system and adjusting the state of the lighting system as a function of the detected traffic situation, the detection of the current traffic situation furthermore including the operation of detecting an obstacle, in order to adjust the lighting system as a function of the traffic situation thus determined.
