  • Publication number: 20050122726
    Abstract: Front viewability during turning may be enhanced by a headlamp device for a vehicle arranged to perform swivel control The headlamp device is arranged so that when a vehicle 2 is turning around a right curve with low beam, the vehicle velocity V and the estimated horizontal G value are used to calculate the curve turning radius R, which is then used together with the vehicle velocity R to calculate the driver viewing point angle ? to which the leftward deviation ? of the highest light intensity position in the light distribution pattern PL for low beam is added to calculate the target swivel angle ? on the basis of which the lighting fixture unit of the headlamp 10R is swung over the target swivel angle ? so that light beam is emitted toward a region surrounding the driver viewing point EP on the road ahead of the vehicle in the forward direction.
