    摘要: A road surface condition identification apparatus for identifying a road surface condition is provided. The road surface condition identification apparatus includes a vibration detector unit configured to output a detection signal being an analog signal according to magnitude of vibration of the tire. For identifying the road surface condition, the road surface condition identification apparatus performs A-D conversion of converting the detection signal of the vibration detector unit into a digital signal. Based on data on vehicle speed, the road surface to condition identification apparatus sets a conversion range of the magnitude of the vibration of the tire used in the AD conversion from the detection signal into the digital signal.

    摘要: A battery monitoring system includes a battery monitoring ECU and battery monitoring devices which are sequentially connected in a connection configuration. The battery monitoring ECU includes a clock generator that generates a first clock signal. Each battery monitoring device includes a second clock generator that generates a second clock signal, a controller that causes a frequency correction block to correct a frequency of the second clock signal in line with the first clock signal and causes the battery monitor to monitor a battery cell using the second clock signal that has been corrected, and a switch that, according to an instruction of the battery monitoring ECU, switches a circuit configuration to a state in which a signal received from a preceding device is transmitted to a succeeding device in the connection configuration.

    摘要: An image acquisition unit acquires camera images obtained by cameras, which are configured to photograph a periphery of the vehicle. An image synthesizing unit projects data of the camera images on a virtual projection surface, which corresponds to the periphery of the vehicle, and forms a synthetic image showing the periphery of the vehicle, which is viewed from a virtual view point, by using the data projected on the projection surface. A travelling-environment determination unit determines whether a travelling environment of the vehicle is an off-road or an on-road based on a signal from an other on-board device of the vehicle. The image synthesizing unit is configured to change a shape of the projection surface, which is for forming the synthetic image, according to whether the travelling-environment determination unit determines that the travelling environment is an off-road.
