    摘要: A sensor output circuit is limited with high accuracy, and reduces radio wave radiation by signal transmission using a single-line signal. The sensor output includes a pulse signal Vin that changes according to a physical quantity to be measured, MOS transistors that perform on/off operations according to the pulse signal Vin, a constant current source that generates a constant current, a MOS transistor which generates a gate voltage of a MOS transistor, MOS transistors which form a current mirror circuit, and the MOS transistor which works to maintain a drain voltage of the MOS transistor at a constant voltage, and the output terminal which is driven by the MOS transistors connected in series. In addition, an output signal from the sensor output circuit is transmitted to a control circuit via an output signal line. The control circuit includes a pull-up resistor, a capacitor, and an input gate circuit.

    摘要: Provided is an in-vehicle stereo camera which enables the continuation of automated driving if failures occur during imaging. A pair of captured images 301, 302, which is captured by a pair of imaging units so that both contain an overlapping region, are acquired (S201), it is determined whether an abnormal region is present in at least one of the pair of captured images, and if an abnormal region is present, the degree of impact from the abnormal region on an object recognition process of an object recognition unit is diagnosed (S202), and the processing content of the object recognition process is updated according to the degree of impact (S203).

    摘要: The present invention provides an in-vehicle communication device and an in-vehicle system that can establish communication, in a short time, between applications corresponding to the same communication protocol between in-vehicle processing devices connected to communication buses having different communication protocols. In the present invention, when the first communication controller 33 has received a specific message from the first in-vehicle processing device 102 connected to the first communication bus 101, the in-vehicle communication device 1 transmits a communication protocol switching command from the second communication controller 3 to the second in-vehicle processing device 202 connected to the second communication bus 201 to switch a communication protocol setting of the second communication controller to the same communication protocol setting as that of the first communication bus.

    摘要: A control device (15) is equipped with a steering angle returning torque target value setting unit (30) which calculates a returning control amount target value (MapOut) based on a vehicle speed (Vs) and a turning angle (θb), and with a steering angle returning torque command signal calculation unit (31) which calculates a retuning control amount (RetOut) based on the retuning control amount target value (MapOut). The steering angle returning torque command signal calculation unit (31) is equipped with a rate limiter (36). The rate limiter (36) determines a change in the vehicle speed (Vs) from a vehicle speed sensor (19), and gradually increases or decreases the retuning control amount target value (MapOut) at a certain rate and then outputs the returning control amount (RetOut).
