Abstract:
A recognition support device for a vehicle includes: an irradiation device which is configured to irradiate an area in front of an own vehicle with light and has an actuator configured to change an irradiation direction of the light; and circuitry configured to recognize an object present in front of the own vehicle with a sensor, to irradiate, when a specific object advances into a first area set in front of the own vehicle relative to the own vehicle, the specific object with the light by using the irradiation device and to drive the actuator, when the specific object advances into a second area which is larger at least in a width in a vehicle traveling direction than the first area before advancing into the first area, such that the irradiation direction of the light from the irradiation device faces the specific object.

Claim (Index 4):
The recognition support device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the width of the first area in the vehicle traveling direction and the width of the second area in the vehicle traveling direction are each determined with use of a distance from a reference point on the own vehicle in the vehicle traveling direction, and a second threshold of the distance used to determine the width of the second area in the vehicle traveling direction is equal to or larger than a sum of a product and a first threshold of the distance, the product being between an operating time of the actuator to adjust the irradiation direction and a speed of the own vehicle or a relative speed between the own vehicle and the specific object, the first threshold being used to determine the width of the first area in the vehicle traveling direction.
