摘要:
An electronic toll collection system (ETCS) for use in a tollgate for charging a car without the need for the car to stop, in which communication failures or errors due to reflected waves from a structure or a passing car are prevented. A roadside communication antenna which communicates with a vehicle-mounted communication antenna for charging, and a car sensor which detects a car (cars) in an area wider than a designed communication area are installed at the tollgate. As an electromagnetic wave path judgment section obtains data on the profile and position of a car which has entered the tollgate, from a car data detector, it calculates electromagnetic wave paths of direct and reflected waves which connect the roadside communication antenna 21 and the vehicle-mounted antenna in each of the cars, and calculates the receiving electric field strength for each of the paths. The direction of the path which has the highest field strength among the paths to the car in the communication area is selected as radiation direction and the direction of the other paths as radiation direction; then the directional pattern which makes the radiant intensity in radiation direction the maximum and that in radiation direction null is determined to control the radiation direction of the antenna unit through a directivity controller.

Provided is a digital broadcast receiving device (20) which can display a high resolution image longer without burdening users with a cumbersome operation. The digital broadcast receiving device (20) of the present invention switches, based on vehicle information, between switching thresholds by which switching is made between plural digital broadcast decoders outputting different digital broadcast images from one another in accordance with a reception state of digital broadcast waves. The plural digital broadcast decoders include, for example, a stationary reception decoder (200), which outputs a digital broadcast image for stationary receivers, and a mobile reception decoder (201), which outputs a digital broadcast image for mobile receivers.

In the digital broadcast to a mobile unit, the continuous reproduction of an image cannot be guaranteed when switching the hierarchical level in accordance with the receiving condition of the radio wave and therefore the viewer has a sense of discomfort. A digital broadcast sending apparatus sends out by encoding a plurality of simultaneous broadcast streams in the same sync signal generator. A switching determination unit of the receiving apparatus switches the plurality of simultaneous broadcast streams in accordance with the receiving condition (weak hierarchical level/strong hierarchical level), and a sync adjustment unit continuously displays an image without interruptions based on the received sync signal. At the time of this switching operation, one stream is gradually switched to the other.

摘要:
An information exchange system is capable of realizing useful information exchange both for the service provider located along the road and providing services and the vehicular driver, by effectively using limited communication capacity of the road-vehicle radio communication. The information exchange system has a vehicle-mounted unit and a road-side unit providing information to the vehicle-mounted unit using a road-vehicle radio communication. The vehicle-mounted unit includes receiving unit receiving information transmitted from the road-side unit through a radio communication and transferring unit transferring at least a part of a content of the received information to a vehicular occupant. The road-side unit including storage unit storing information to be transmitted to the vehicle-mounted unit and transmitting unit transmitting information to the vehicle-mounted unit through the radio communication. The storage means stores at least information relating to a service provider where a service is provided at the location thereof. The road-side unit also includes editing unit editing information stored in the storage means on the basis of a relative position between the service provider and a communication region of the transmitting means and generating an edited information to be transmitted from the transmitting means.
