Method and apparatus for electronically logical recognition of road signs

A method for electronically logical recognition of road signs using a camera arrangement in a motor vehicle in which the road signs are interpreted electronically by pattern comparison methods and displayed in the motor vehicle, characterized in that upon detection of traffic signs under appropriate lighting conditions, a Scheinwerfernachfuhrung for optimum illumination of the road sign is generated such that driving and road-related luffing and slewing movements of the vehicle as well as the angle by the approach of the traffic sign changing are compensated by corresponding compensation movements of the headlamp assembly.
