<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular lamp control system, capable of automatically controlling the illumination range and the luminous intensity of lamps to illuminate where the driver's face is directed for enabling the driver to recognize the circumference for confirming circumferential safety, while useless lamp control action is eliminated. <P>SOLUTION: The vehicle lamp control system is provided with a face direction detection means 12 to detect the face direction of the driver of the vehicle, a face direction state determination means 21 to determine that the detected face direction is continuously in a specific state, and a lamp control means (control ECU) 2 to control the illumination states including the illumination area, the illumination direction, and the luminous intensity of the lamps LSL and RSL in such a way that illumination is performed in the face direction based on the detected face direction and the determined face direction state. A range where the driver wants to watch can thus be illuminated with sufficient illuminance. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
