RECOGNITION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE

A recognition support system for a vehicle includes an image recognition sensor including a camera configured to capture an image of a periphery of a host vehicle while alternately repeating an exposure period and a non-exposure period; an irradiation device configured to irradiate light to the periphery of the host vehicle; an object recognition unit configured to recognize an object existing in the periphery of the host vehicle by using the image recognition sensor; and a light irradiation control unit configured to, when the object recognized by the object recognition unit is an alert target object, carry out intermittent irradiation of light to the alert target object by using the irradiation device, the intermittent irradiation being carried out such that an irradiation period of light and a non-irradiation period of light are alternately repeated and the non-irradiation period overlaps with at least part of the exposure period.
