The present invention relates to an automatic vehicle headlight control device using a front camera and a method thereof, which promote safe driving by controlling the brightness of headlights or switching the headlights to a low beam mode when the vehicle is parked at night to suppress the dazzle of the eyes of drivers of a preceding vehicle and a vehicle on the opposite side and reduce eye fatigue. The automatic vehicle headlight control device includes: a headlight switch for selecting an automatic headlight operation function; a front camera detecting whether there is a preceding vehicle or a vehicle on the opposite side; and a body control module (BCM) controlling the headlights based on whether a vehicle exists and whether a vehicle is parked in cooperation with the vehicle control device and the front camera when the automatic headlight operation function is selected by the headlight switch. The body control module controls the switching of headlights, regulates the brightness, or controls the light-on/off of the headlights, thereby promoting safe driving by preventing the dazzle of the eyes of the driver in the vehicle or drivers in the preceding vehicle or vehicle on the opposite side.

    야간에 차량 정차 시 전조등의 밝기나 하향등으로 점등을 전환하여 앞 차량 및 반대편 차량의 운전자 눈부심 등을 억제하고 눈의 피로를 줄여 안전운전을 도모하도록 한 전방 카메라를 이용한 차량의 전조등 자동 제어장치 및 그 방법에 관한 것으로서, 전조등 자동 동작 기능을 선택하기 위한 전조등 스위치, 선행차량 또는 반대편 대향 차량의 존재 유무를 검출하는 전방 카메라, 전조등 스위치에 의해 전조등 자동 동작 기능이 선택되면, 전방 카메라와 차량 제어장치와 연동하여 차량의 존재 유무와 정차 유무를 기초로 전조등을 제어하는 바디 제어 모듈(BCM; Body Control Module)을 포함하여 전방 카메라를 이용한 차량의 전조등 자동 제어장치를 구현하며, 상기 바디 제어 모듈은 상기 전조등의 점등/소등을 제어하거나 밝기를 조절하거나 전조등의 전환을 제어하여, 운전자 또는 선행차량 및 대향 차량 운전자의 눈부심을 방지하여 안전운전을 도모한다.
