    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to obtain an update management system that makes it possible to perform writing and switching of a program in an ECU configuration having redundancy while a vehicle is traveling, even when the ECU configuration does not have a double-sided memory structure. An update management system of the present invention is mounted on a vehicle and includes: a plurality of arithmetic operation devices; and an update management device that controls the plurality of arithmetic operation devices. The plurality of arithmetic operation devices include at least a first arithmetic operation device and a second arithmetic operation device. The update management device determines whether the second arithmetic operation device is executing a redundant process while the vehicle is traveling, and when determining that the second arithmetic operation device is not executing the redundant process, the update management device restricts execution of the redundant process by the first arithmetic operation device and updates a program stored in the second arithmetic operation device.

    Abstract: Provided is an electronic control device that drives and controls a fuel injection valve, the electronic control device increasing a boost current of a booster circuit only in a scene where boosting energy needs to be increased by short-time boosting, and reducing the boost current of the booster circuit in other scenes. The electronic control device including; a booster circuit; a boost setting controller that holds boost control information of the booster circuit; a boost controller that controls an energizing current of the booster circuit based on a current setting value from the boost setting controller; and a fuel injection circuit that supplies current to a fuel injection valve using voltage generated by the booster circuit, in which the boost setting controller reduces a boost speed of the booster circuit when information on engine temperature is higher than a predetermined value.

    Abstract: A controller as a control apparatus controls a shock absorber of a control target wheel (a rear wheel) located in back of a detection target portion (a front wheel) of an unsprung acceleration sensor based on a detection value detected by the unsprung acceleration sensor on the front wheel side provided on a vehicle. In this case, the controller identifies a movement distance (a delay distance) from the detection target portion (the front wheel) and controls the shock absorber of the control target wheel (the rear wheel) located in back thereof based on the detection value of the unsprung acceleration sensor and a vehicle speed for each control period.

    Abstract: A suspension system includes: a variable damper configured to use a damping force variable actuator to adjust communication of working fluid generated in a passage by a relative movement between a vehicle body and a wheel, to thereby adjust a damping force over a range of a soft characteristic to a hard characteristic; and a controller configured to control the damping force variable actuator. The variable damper further includes a frequency response unit configured to reduce the damping force for vibration at a specific frequency. The controller is configured to increase a change rate from a soft side to a hard side at a time of controlling the damping force to reach a target damping force when a frequency of the relative movement between the vehicle body and the wheel is lower than a first frequency set to the frequency response unit.
