PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication device which avoids an increase in traffic of relay communication and lightens the load needed for the relay communication when the relay communication between vehicles, and a vehicle to the roadside is performed. SOLUTION: For the relay communication between the vehicles, and vehicle to the road side, an upper-limit value of the number of times of relaying is determined on a transmission side, and transmission data are so previously generated that the amount of the transmission data is smaller and smaller as the upper-limit value of the number of times of relaying is larger and larger. Consequently, even when the relay communication is carried out, the occupation time of the transmission of the data does not vary with the number of times of relaying, but becomes constant. Consequently, the increase in traffic of the relay communication can be avoided and the load needed for relay processing can be reduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a driving assist device for a vehicle allowing the continuation of intersection possibility decision with other mobile bodies each having a high degree of risk even in the case that direct communication with the other mobile bodies each having the high degree of risk of collision with one's own vehicle is cut off, when deciding intersection possibility with the other mobile bodies by use of inter-mobile body communication. SOLUTION: When the direct communication between the own vehicle and the other mobile body wherein the degree of risk of the collision with the own vehicle decided on the basis of the intersection probability is a first prescribed level or above is cut off, or when the other mobile body wherein the degree of risk of the collision with the own vehicle decided on the basis of the intersection probability is a second prescribed level (larger than the first prescribed level) or above is present, the driving assist device for the vehicle deciding the intersection probability with the other mobile bodies by use of the inter-mobile body communication executes an assistant mobile body information acquisition process of the other mobile bodies of the prescribed levels or above.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pedal effort detecting device having high detecting accuracy. SOLUTION: A sensor chamber to be sealing space is formed by a sensor head 31, a bellows 32, a housing 33 and a stem 34. Within the sensor chamber formed by them, liquid 38 is filled and a sensor chip 35 for detecting pressure are stored. When load is applied to the sensor head 31 by this constitution, the bellow 32 is pressed and contracted and pressure of liquid 38 is fluctuated. Pressure of the liquid 38 is detected by the sensor chip 35 to detect load applied to the sensor head 31. This pedal effort detecting device is constituted by assembling the load detecting device 1 with a pedal.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide a ground vehicle speed sensor by which the ground speed in the transverse direction of a vehicle can be detected with good accuracy even when an obstacle exists on the side part of the vehicle by a method wherein a Doppler shift frequency by the relative speed of the obstacle on the side part of the vehicle to the vehicle is removed from a received Doppler signal. CONSTITUTION: When a transmitted signal from a transmitter 10 is impinged on a road surface on the side part of a vehicle, a part of it is conducted diffused reflection so as to advance to the side of a receiver 16. At this time, a Doppler shift frequency fd in the transverse direction of the vehicle is superposed on a signal received by the receiver 16. When an obstacle 32 exists on the side part of the vehicle, the transmitted signal which has been reflected specularly by the road surface is reflected further by the obstacle 32 so as to advance to the receiver 16. A Doppler shift frequency fd1 according to the relative speed of the vehicle 30 to the obstacle 32 is superposed on the signal. On the other hand, the relative speed of the veicle 30 to the obstacle 32 is detected by the time differentiated value of the distance S, between the vehicle 30 and the obstacle 32, detected by a side-part distance sensor 28. On the basis of the relative speed, the Doppler shift frequency fd1 is operated so as to be removed from a Doppler signal.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To enhance the detection accuracy of a Doppler-speed detection apparatus in which the absolute value of a Doppler speed is detected on the basis of the frequency difference between a transmitted signal and a received signal and in which the direction of the Doppler speed is detected according to the magnitude of the transmitted signal and the received signal. CONSTITUTION:A transmitted signal 3 at a frequency F is transmitted from a transmitter 1. A signal, at a central frequency of F+ or -d, which is received by a receiver 2 is supplied to a mixing circuit 13 and an F/V converter 16 after it has been shaped by a preamplifier 10, a filter 11 and an amplifier 12. The mixing circuit 13 outputs a signal which is changed by using the frequency difference fd between the transmitted signal and the received signal as a frequency. An F/V converter 17 which F/Vconverts a signal corresponding to a part of the transmitted signal 3 is installed. Output voltages from the two F/V-converters 16, 17 are supplied to an advance and retreat judgment comparator 18.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To maintain the precision of detection even when a crosstalk signal is propagated in addition to a regular reception signal, regarding a detecting device of frequency difference which executes desired measurement on the basis of a Doppler shift occurring in a process of transmitting and receiving waves of a prescribed frequency. CONSTITUTION:A reception signal 4 being a reflected wave of a transmission signal 3 emitted from a transmitter 1 is received by a receiver 2. The receiver 2 adds up the regular reception signal 4 from which a Doppler shift is generated and a crosstalk signal propagated from various routes without occurrence of the Doppler shift and outputs a detection signal 21. A mixing circuit 20 mixes the detection signal with an oscillation signal 22 and delivers an output signal showing a frequency difference between them. An amplitude detecting circuit 23 detects amplitude modulation occurring in the detection signal 21 and delivers an output signal corresponding to an envelope thereof. A frequency signal selecting circuit selects and outputs an output signal of the larger peak value.
