A vehicle driving support system includes a detection part detecting an object; an area classification part classifying areas other than a presence area where the object detected by the detection part is present into an empty area and an unknown area, the empty area being such an area that it is determined that no object is present and an unknown area being such an area that whether an object is present is unknown; and a control part guiding a vehicle to the empty area.

Vehicle driving support system

Provided are a communication system and a communication device that allow a reception node to estimate delay time, a generation time point or the like of a message. A delay time estimation part in an ECU determines whether a message received by itself is transmitted in sequence with another message without being provided with time information by a transmission node. If the received message is transmitted in sequence with another message, the received message may be delayed due to arbitrary processing. Thus, the delay time estimation part checks the priority of one or more sequential messages preceding the received message, and estimates delay time of the received message occurring due to the arbitrary processing in accordance with the priority of each message. A generation time point estimation part estimates the time point when the received message is generated by an ECU, based on the delay time estimated.

Communication system and communication device

Provided are a CAN communication system and an error information recording device that may be expected to facilitate identification of the cause of any error occurring in communication. The monitoring device is connected to a CAN bus and determines whether or not an error is included in a message transmitted by an ECU. In the case where an error is included in the transmitted message, the monitoring device records, in the recording unit, information concerning the error in the message as error information. Furthermore, the monitoring device comprises the CAN controller performing communication in accordance with the CAN protocol and the processor performing various types of information processing. The CAN controller may determine whether or not an error is included in message transmission, and if determined that an error is included, may notify the processor of the CAN-ID attached to the message by an interrupt.

Controller area network (CAN) communication system and error information recording device

A relay device capable of preventing transmission of an improper message to one or more networks even if improper falsification is made to a program for executing relay processing. If one CAN controller receives a message, a gateway stores the received message in the message storage unit and also sends the message to the processing unit. The processing unit that received the message performs processing necessary for relay of the message by executing a relay program, and sends the message to be relayed to the CAN controller. The gateway compares the message before being sent from the CAN controller to the processing unit with the message sent from the processing unit to the CAN controller, to determine the properness of the message.

Relay device

Provided are a communication control device and a communication system capable of detecting message transmission in the case where an invalid device transmits a message to a common communication line. A monitoring device decides a reference time point tfor periodical message transmission by an ECU, decides multiple scheduled transmission time points t, t, . . . obtained by adding a period corresponding to an integer multiple of a transmission cycle T of a message to the reference time point t, and decides that a predetermined period including each of the scheduled transmission time points is a permission period for message transmission. The monitoring device determines whether or not a detected message on a CAN bus has been transmitted during the permission period. If determined that transmission of an invalid message is not permitted, the monitoring device performs processing of causing the ECU which receives the message to discard the message.

Communication control device and communication system

A communication device capable of detecting transmission of an improper message to a network. A CAN controller in the gateway transmits and receives a message attached with a priority level (ID) to/from an ECU through a communication line, and counts, by the consecutive block number counter, the number of transmitted messages that are consecutively blocked as a result of arbitration processing as the number of consecutive blocks and stores the number as the number of allowed blocks into an allowed block number table in the storage unit in association with a priority level attached to the message received at the communication line. Every time a message is received, the controller compares the number of consecutive blocks with the number of allowed blocks for this message, and detects abnormality if the number of consecutive blocks is larger than the number of allowed blocks.

Provided are a communication device and a communication restriction program capable of suppressing invalid message transmission to a network by injecting an invalid program. The ECU includes a CAN controller having a register group storing a value concerning communication with a different ECU and a processing unit processing a value for the register group. The ECU switches the mode between the full control mode in which writing and reading are allowed for the register group in the CAN controller and the restriction mode wherein writing and reading are restricted for a part of the registers in the register group. The ECU sets a predetermined period from activation corresponding to the full control mode, and switches the full control mode to the restriction mode after the predetermined period elapses. After switching to the restriction mode, the ECU will not switch the mode to the full control mode.

A communication system and key information sharing method which allows first and second communication devices to share key information and perform cryptograph processing. The monitoring device calculates hash value based on copy data of storage content of an ECU, and transmits a part to the ECU as confirmation information. The ECU further extracts a part from a value, obtained by removing confirmation information from hash value calculated by the ECU, and transmits part to the monitoring device as response information when the received confirmation information is included in the hash value calculated by the ECU. The monitoring device determines whether the received response information is included in hash value of the monitoring device or not. The ECU and monitoring device each use residual value, obtained by removing confirmation information and response information from hash value calculated by the ECU or monitoring device, for following cryptograph processing as a shared key.
