Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and method for controlling a beam pattern. The apparatus includes an output device that outputs a beam pattern, and a controller that analyzes a driving tendency of a driver and adjusts the beam pattern based on the analyzed driving tendency of the driver.
Claims9
An apparatus for adjusting a beam pattern of a vehicle, comprising:
- an output device configured to output the beam pattern;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- compare a data value representing a driving tendency of a driver of the vehicle with a reference value;
- in response to the data value being equal to or greater than the reference value, performing at least one of (1) expanding a shadow zone area of the beam pattern and (2) increasing a recovery time of the beam pattern;
- and
- in response to the data value being smaller than the reference value, performing at least one of (1) reducing the shadow zone area of the beam pattern and (2) shortening the recovery time of the beam pattern.
