Adaptive vehicle headlamp based on object position

A vehicle headlamp mounted on a vehicle, comprising:

• a memory:
• a controller coupled to the memory and configured to:
• form a first light distribution pattern projected onto an area below a cutoff line;
• form a second light distribution pattern projected along the cutoff line to overlap with the cutoff line;
• adjust luminous intensity of at least a partial projection area of the second light distribution pattern according to a position of a target object outside the vehicle;
• and
• vary a timing or a manner of an adjustment of the luminous intensity of the at least partial projection area of the second light distribution pattern depending on a type of the detected target object and a distance between the vehicle and the target object.
