Light distribution control system for automotive headlamp

摘要

A light distribution control system (100) includes automotive headlamps (210) capable of controlling the range of illumination in a front area of a vehicle, a camera (306) for taking the images of the front area of the vehicle, and a vehicle control unit (302) that detects a forward vehicle based on the images picked up by the camera (306), and controls the illumination range of the automotive headlamps (210) in a manner such that the illumination is applied around the forward vehicle while the illumination of the automotive headlamps (210) toward the detected forward vehicle is suppressed. The vehicle control unit (302) controls the automotive headlamps (210) in a manner such that the size of a space between the forward vehicle and the illumination range varies according to the position of the forward vehicle in the horizontal direction.
