To appropriately identify an obstacle in an automatic operation travel by illuminating a necessary illumination range for the automatic operation travel instead of switching to a low beam even in the case of detecting a pedestrian.SOLUTION: In a vehicle including a headlamp capable of adjusting beam distribution in accordance with a road situation in front of the vehicle and capable of performing an automatic operation with identification of a pedestrian with a visible light camera, a headlamp control method performs: identifying, when detecting a pedestrian in front of the vehicle, a head of the detected pedestrian; and controlling the beam distribution of the headlamp so as to shield the light only at the head of the pedestrian, of the beam distribution required for the automatic operation travel in a case where a movement direction of the pedestrian is a direction approaching the vehicle, or to control the beam distribution of the headlamp so as to illuminate an entirety of the illumination range necessary for the automatic operation travel in a case where the movement direction of the pedestrian is not a direction approaching the vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
