A filter device includes: delay units serially connected to delay an input signal and output a delayed signal; multiplication units multiplying the delayed signal by a filter coefficient based on a predetermined value and a multiplying factor adjustment value; a coefficient adjustment unit that, when a multiplication result obtained by multiplying the predetermined value by the multiplying factor adjustment value exceeds a maximum value of a filter-coefficient representation range, divides the multiplication result exceeding the maximum value by the maximum value, and outputs a quotient of division as a coefficient adjustment value; a signal conversion unit outputting a signal obtained by adding after-filter-coefficient-multiplication signals outputted by the multiplication units and an adjusted signal obtained by adjusting a corresponding delayed signal using the coefficient adjustment value; and a division unit generating an output signal by dividing the signal outputted by the signal conversion unit by the multiplying factor adjustment value.

A traffic information detecting and distributing system including receiver for receiving current position information transmitted from a traffic information transmitting system for detecting and transmitting the current position information of a moving object, a traffic information collector for forming traffic information based on the current position information received, a traffic information distributor for distributing the traffic information to a traffic information user, a user identifier for identifying the traffic information user based on traffic information user identifying information, and a charging system for a charging the traffic information user for the traffic information used, based on the user identifying information. A traffic information transmitting system, a traffic information collecting and distributing system, and a traffic information collecting and distributing method provide traffic information over a wide range and properly charge for the traffic information use.

An on-vehicle information system includes extended function interface modules responsible for communication between basic function modules, providing basic information services in an on-vehicle information system, and extended function modules.

Extendable on-vehicle information system

The present invention relates to a danger avoidance system capable of avoiding the collision of a vehicle against obstacles and of reducing the effect of collision on a vehicle. A traveling condition deciding unit decides whether or not the vehicle is in a dangerous traveling condition on the basis of the respective outputs of a vehicle monitoring system and an ambient condition monitoring system. A danger recognition confirming unit decides whether or not the driver is aware of the dangerous traveling condition on the basis of the respective outputs of a driver monitoring system, the ambient condition monitoring system and the vehicle monitoring system. When the traveling condition deciding unit decides that the vehicle is in the dangerous traveling condition, measures to avoid danger or to reduce the effect of collision on the vehicle are taken only when the driver is not aware of the dangerous traveling condition. Therefore, a danger avoidance effecting unit does not execute the measures to avoid danger or to reduce the effect of collision on the vehicle when the driver is aware of the dangerous traveling condition.
