Vehicle lamp control device, control method for vehicle lamp control device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

A control method for a vehicle lamp control device that controls a headlight of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• a detection step of detecting a pedestrian in front of the vehicle;
• and
• a dimming control step of performing dimming control on a pedestrian irradiation range in which the pedestrian is present within an irradiation range, when the pedestrian is located within a preset irradiation range with respect to the headlight,
• wherein in the dimming control step, the headlight is controlled such that a light amount irradiated to the pedestrian irradiation range of the pedestrian becomes substantially uniform even if a position of the pedestrian relative to the vehicle within the irradiation range changes in a lateral direction of the vehicle.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that causes an ECU of a vehicle to operate so as to control a headlight of the vehicle, the program causing the ECU to operate as:

• a pedestrian detection unit configured to detect a pedestrian in front of the vehicle;
• and
• a lamp control unit configured to perform dimming control on a pedestrian irradiation range in which the pedestrian is present within an irradiation range, when the pedestrian detected by the pedestrian detection unit is located within a preset irradiation range with respect to the headlight,
• and causing the headlight to be controlled, as the dimming control, such that a light amount irradiated to the pedestrian irradiation range of the pedestrian becomes substantially uniform even if a position of the pedestrian relative to the vehicle within the irradiation range changes in a lateral direction of the vehicle.
