LIGHTING CONTROL DEVICE FOR DIRECTION INDICATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/018480
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This lighting control device (5) for a direction indicator (4) is provided with: a detection unit (53) that detects a lighting operation applied to an operation member of the direction indicator provided in a vehicle; and an output unit (55) that outputs a control signal to turn on the direction indicator at a predetermined timing based on the positional relationship and relative speed between the vehicle and another vehicle when the lighting operation is detected by the detection unit. Due to this configuration, the direction indicator is turned on at an appropriate timing, and thus an automatic lane change that takes peripheral safety into consideration can be performed.
