Abstract:
An onboard design device or an onboard design method: acquires topology information indicating: a plurality of onboard candidate positions; at least one device onboard position showing a position of a peripheral device; and a wiring route; acquires a coefficient that defines an onboard function and an onboard condition; and determines an onboard position and an onboard number of an electronic control unit.
Abstract:
A wiring harness evaluation apparatus includes a functional allocation means which allocates functions realized by a plurality of ECUs installed in a vehicle to the ECUs, a routing path setting means which sets a routing path of a wiring harness in conformity with the allocation by the functional allocation means, a component selection means which selects components for configuring the wiring harness in conformity with the routing path set by the routing path setting means, and an evaluation value calculation means which calculates an evaluation value for at least one of a total weight of the components, total cost of the components, and total length of electric wires configuring the wiring harness on the basis of information on the components selected by the component selection means.
Abstract:
A driving monitoring system monitors a driver of a host vehicle by a vehicle control unit and a portable terminal which communicate with each other. The vehicle control unit controls the host vehicle. The portable terminal includes a display screen and a camera arranged to capture an image of an area opposing the display screen. The driver monitoring system determines whether the driver of the host vehicle looks at the display screen of the portable terminal during running of the host vehicle, based on an image captured by the camera; the driver monitoring system issues a warning in response to that the driver is determined to be looking at the display screen of the portable terminal.
Abstract:
A vehicle-mounted network system includes a plurality of electronic control units (ECUs) communicatively connected to a communication path of a vehicle-mounted network, each of which is configured to selectively perform a normal mode of operation and a sleep mode, and a management apparatus. The plurality of ECUs are configured to be individually powered on and off by a power supply relay of the management apparatus. The management apparatus is configured to acquire information indicative of a vehicle situation and determine a scene from the acquired information, determine control contents for powering on or off at least one specific ECU, of the plurality of ECUs, corresponding to the determined scene, if any, and power on or off the at least one specific ECU based on the determined control contents.
Abstract:
An ECU (Electronic Control Unit) evaluation apparatus, for use in vehicle design, allocates functions appropriately to respective ECUs of a vehicle. The function allocation can be performed based on user-specified priority aspect(s) in conjunction with stored information concerning the respective functions and information concerning the ECUs, such as installation positions on the vehicle, mechanical and electrical specifications of component parts of ECUs, etc.
