Description

本開示に係る車両照明制御装置は、乗員位置検出部と照明制御部とを含む。乗員位置検出部は、車両の周辺情報に基づいて、車両の室外に存在する乗員の位置を検出する。周辺情報は、車両に設けられた周辺情報検出装置によって検出される。周辺情報は、乗員の画像、または、周辺情報検出装置から車両の周辺に照射される探知波のうち乗員で反射される反射波の強度分布を含む。照明制御部は、乗員の位置が車両に設けられた照明部によって照明されるように、照明部を制御する。照明制御部は、乗員の視線または顔向きの情報に基づいて、乗員が注目している関心領域を検出し、関心領域が、照明部によってさらに照明されるように、照明部を制御する。

A vehicle lighting control device according to the present disclosure includes an occupant position detector and a lighting controller. The occupant position detection unit detects the position of the occupant present outside the vehicle based on the surrounding information of the vehicle. The surrounding information is detected by a surrounding information detection device provided in the vehicle. The peripheral information includes an image of the occupant or an intensity distribution of reflected waves reflected by the occupant among detection waves emitted from the peripheral information detection device to the vicinity of the vehicle. The lighting control unit controls the lighting unit so that the position of the passenger is illuminated by the lighting unit provided in the vehicle. The lighting control unit detects an area of interest that the occupant is paying attention to based on information on the line of sight or face direction of the occupant, and controls the illuminating unit so that the area of interest is further illuminated by the illuminating unit.
