Method for controlling the light emission of a headlamp of a vehicle

The method (200) involves receiving a road sign detection signal from an interface to a road sign recognition device of a vehicle (210). A debounce time and/or a debounce route is adjusted (220) for changing the light emission of a headlight between two different radiation characteristics based on the road sign detection signal. The change of the light emission of the headlight is retarded based on the adjusted debounce time and/or debounce route to control the light emission of the headlight (230). The signal is evaluated to determine a property of a current road course. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a device for controlling light emission of a headlight of a vehicle (2) a computer program product having a program code to perform a method for controlling light emission of a headlight of a vehicle.
