Title:
LIGHT DISTRIBUTION CONTROL DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023061113
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To execute light distribution control according to travel state of a vehicle.SOLUTION: A light distribution control device (100) can perform diffused light distribution control designed to widen an irradiation range of a headlamp of an own vehicle (1). The light distribution control device is equipped with: a recognition unit (11) that recognizes a situation around the own vehicle; and control means (13, 14, 22) that perform diffused light distribution control when a curve section in front of the own vehicle in a traveling direction thereof is detected, from a result of recognition by the recognition unit. The control means controls the headlamp such that a non-required irradiation region where irradiation with light is not required is restrained from being irradiated with light and that a region other than the non-required irradiation region is irradiated with more light when the non-required irradiation region is detected in the irradiation range of the headlamp in performing diffused light distribution control, from the result of recognition.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
