Abstract
A light distribution control device for controlling a light distribution of a headlight that illuminates in front of a vehicle includes a control unit configured to control the light distribution based on a front captured image of an onboard camera of the vehicle, so that an illuminance of a first region including a front vehicle located ahead of the vehicle is smaller than an illuminance of a second region not including the front vehicle. The control unit is configured to set a range of the first region based on a lateral position of the front vehicle in the front captured image and a lateral movement speed of the front vehicle in the front captured image.
