Abstract:
1. A method for determining a radiation characteristic for an illumination device of a vehicle to be produced from a plurality of possible radiation characteristics based on at least one parameter, wherein the at least one parameter is selected from a group consisting of an illumination geometry that the illumination device is configured to generate in a surroundings of the illumination device, a position of the illumination device on the vehicle, and a person-related type of perception of a generated illumination geometry, wherein the method comprises the steps of: determining a first value of a light intensity generated for at least one first point located within an illuminable area that the illumination device is configured to illuminate, based on the at least one parameter; determining a second value of the light intensity generated by the illumination device for each point of a plurality of second points, based on the first value of the light intensity, wherein the plurality of second points is arranged in the surroundings of the illumination device including the illuminable area; determining a light distribution that the illumination device is configured to generate based on the first value of the light intensity and the second value of the light intensity; and outputting the light distribution to an interface.
