  • a light irradiation device configured to form a first pattern and a second pattern that at least partially overlap each other by irradiating light; and

    a control device configured to adjust the light irradiation device to form a shadow area at a position of a second vehicle when the second vehicle exists in an area of a beam pattern in which the first pattern and the second pattern are synthesized with each other,wherein the control device is configured to determine a size of the shadow area by referring to whether the second vehicle exists in a non-uniform overlap section, in which the first pattern and the second pattern overlap each other to a non-uniform degree, in an irradiation section of the light.
