CONTROL APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE HEADLAMPS

In a vehicle headlamp control apparatus, a light distribution control section controls light distribution of a headlamp based on a detected light control target object ahead of a vehicle and a detected behavior of the vehicle or an expected change thereof. When the behavior is in a first behavior state in which a change in the headlamp irradiation area becomes equal to or less than a predetermined amount or the behavior is expected not to change from the first behavior state, the light distribution control section causes the headlamp to project light in a standard pattern. When the behavior is in a second behavior state in which the change in the headlamp irradiation area exceeds the predetermined amount or the behavior is expected to change to the second behavior state, the light distribution control section causes the headlamp to project light in a pattern different from the standard pattern.
