Abstract
A headlamp control system for moving objects and a headlamp control method for moving objects. The headlamp control system for a moving object includes an information acquisition unit configured to acquire traveling information of the moving object, a control unit configured to control a beam pattern variation width of the lamp based on the traveling information and a road curvature change, in which the control unit determines a driver's cornering propensity on a curved road based on the traveling information received from the information acquisition unit, and controls a beam pattern variation width of the headlamp based on the cornering propensity or the road curvature change.
Claims8
A headlamp control system for a moving object, the headlamp control system comprising:
- an information acquisition unit configured to acquire traveling information of the moving object;
- and
- a control unit configured to control a beam pattern variation width of the headlamp based on the traveling information,
- wherein the control unit is configured to determine a driver's cornering propensity on a curved road based on the traveling information, and control the beam pattern variation width of the headlamp based on the driver's cornering propensity;
- wherein the control unit is configured to:
- determine the driver's cornering propensity for an entry section of the curved road and an exit section of the curved road, respectively, by analyzing acceleration propensity in the entry section and the exit section based on the traveling information, and
- classify the acceleration propensity into a predetermined reference grade based on the determined cornering propensity, wherein the control unit is configured to:
- classify the grade as a high-speed cornering driver when the cornering propensity is higher than a first reference which is a predetermined reference,
- classify the grade as a standard cornering driver when the cornering propensity is lower than the first reference and higher than a second reference which is a predetermined reference lower than the first reference, and
- classify the grade as a low-speed cornering driver when the cornering propensity is lower than the second reference.
A headlamp control method for a moving object, the headlamp control method performed by a control unit and comprising:
- determining a driver's cornering propensity in an entry section of a curved road based on received traveling information of the moving object, and classifying a driver's cornering propensity into a predetermined reference grade based on the determined cornering propensity;
- adding and applying a variable first parameter based on the grade classified in the entry section of the curved road;
- determining the driver's cornering propensity in an exit section of the curved road based on the traveling information of the moving object, and classifying the driver's cornering propensity into the predetermined reference grade based on the determined cornering propensity;
- adding and applying a variable second parameter based on the grade classified in the exit section of the curved road;
- and
- controlling a beam pattern variation width of the headlamp based on the first parameter and the second parameter.
