    摘要: A headlight control apparatus sets a forward moving vehicle as a target vehicle, acquire a target longitudinal difference between a reference lateral line in a forward image and a target vehicle lateral line which defines a position of the target vehicle in a longitudinal direction in the forward image, acquire a target lateral difference between a reference longitudinal line in the forward image and a target vehicle longitudinal line which defines a position of the target vehicle in the lateral direction in the forward image, set a target lighting angle of the at least one headlight, depending on the target longitudinal and lateral differences, and adjust the lighting angle of at least one headlight to the target lighting angle.

    摘要: A lighting ECU determines whether or not a road sign relating to an urban area or a residential area is detected, while it is performing an automatic high beam control. When the detected road sign is a road sign indicating a start point of the urban area or of the residential area, the lighting ECU terminates the automatic high beam control, and maintain a light distribution pattern to a pattern corresponding to low beam. The lighting ECU restarts the automatic high beam control, when the detected road sign is a road sign indicating an end point of the urban area or of the residential area.
