<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly decide a timing of changing an irradiation range of a lighting device, based on information of another vehicle obtained by communication with the external, while avoiding an increase of communication load or the like. <P>SOLUTION: A vehicle light distribution control device includes: a lighting device for illuminating front of an own vehicle; a communication means for acquiring another vehicle information from the external by wireless communication; an another vehicle location estimation means for estimating the location of another vehicle, based on the another vehicle information; an irradiation range estimation means for three-dimensionally estimating the irradiation range of a high beam after a predetermined time from the present time point; a determination means for determining whether the location of the another vehicle after the predetermined time from the present time point enters the irradiation range of the high beam after the predetermined time from the present time point, in a state where the front of the own vehicle is illuminated with the high beam; and a first light distribution control means for limiting the irradiation range of the high beam of the lighting device or for switching the high beam of the lighting device to the low beam, when affirmatively determined by the determination means. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
