To provide a vehicular lighting apparatus which enables attention to be called on a pedestrian side at any time of day or night to approach of a vehicle at an early stage.SOLUTION: A vehicular lighting apparatus 1 comprises: a pattern irradiation part (a projector unit 8) which irradiates, with irradiation light, a lateral irradiation region on a lateral side of a traveling road of an own vehicle in a bright-dark mixed irradiation pattern 15 such that bright regions 13 and dark regions 14 are alternately repeated; a situation recognition device 50 which obtains an output corresponding to a situation of brightness outside the own vehicle; and a control part (a lamp control ECU 9) which, when the output of the situation recognition device 50 corresponds to a first situation of brightness equal to or higher than predetermined specific brightness, controls the pattern irradiation part 8 so that it is put into a first lighting mode without being turned off. In one aspect, when the output of the situation recognition device 50 is a value corresponding to a second situation of brightness lower than the specific brightness, the control part 9 puts the pattern irradiation part 8 into a second lighting mode having brighter irradiation light than the first lighting mode in response to the output of the value corresponding to the second situation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】歩行者側において、昼夜によらずに、車両の接近について早期に注意が喚起される車両用照明装置を提供すること。【解決手段】車両用照明装置1は明領域13と暗領域14が交互に繰り返される明暗混合照射パターン15で自車の走行路側方の側方照射領域に照射光を照射するパターン照射部(プロジェクターユニット8)と、自車外の明るさの状況に対応した出力を得る状況認識デバイス50と、状況認識デバイス50の出力が所定の規定明るさ以上である第1状況に対応しているときに、パターン照射部8を、消灯ではない第1点灯モードとなるように制御する制御部(灯具制御ECU9)とを有する。一態様では、制御部9は、状況認識デバイス50の出力が規定明るさ未満である第2状況対応値であると、第2状況対応値の出力に応じ、パターン照射部8を、第1点灯モードよりも照射光が明るい第2点灯モードとする。【選択図】図2
