Abstract
A headlamp's optical axis control system for a vehicle includes a infrared light camera for detecting an object on a road in front of the vehicle and a headlamp's optical axis actuator. The headlamp's optical axis is changed according to a vehicle speed and position of the object relative to the vehicle so that the illumination range of the headlamp can cover the object if the object is judged to be out of the illumination range.
