A vehicle control system includes: a vehicle sensor configured to detect a vehicle state; a first control device connected to the vehicle sensor and provided with a first recording area; a first power supply device configured to supply electric power to the first control device; a second control device connected to the first control device and provided with a second recording area; and a second power supply device configured to supply electric power to the second control device. The first control device is configured to record vehicle data including the vehicle state in the first recording area at a prescribed timing and to transmit the vehicle data to the second control device on a prescribed cycle. The second control device is configured to record the vehicle data received from the first control device in the second recording area at a prescribed timing.

Vehicle control system

A vehicle control system includes a control device configured to execute automatic driving control of a vehicle; an image capturing device configured to capture a surrounding image of the vehicle; and a recording device configured to record the surrounding image. The control device includes: a function classifying unit configured to classify functions of the automatic driving control into a first automatic driving function and a second automatic driving function; a state determining unit configured to determine whether the recording device is in a recordable state; and a function restricting unit configured to permit use of the first automatic driving function in a case where the state determining unit determines that the recording device is in the recordable state, and to prohibit the use of the first automatic driving function in a case where the state determining unit determines that the recording device is not in the recordable state.

A vehicle control system includes a recording device configured to record vehicle information in files. The recording device includes: an event information receiving unit configured to receive information about prescribed events; a tag providing unit configured to provide protection tags to the files, the protection tags being of different types according to magnitude of the events; and an overwriting setting unit configured to prohibit overwriting of the files provided with the protection tags of a same type in a case where the number of the files provided with the protection tags of the same type is within a prescribed upper limit number, and to permit the overwriting of the files provided with the protection tags of the same type in a case where the number of the files provided with the protection tags of the same type exceeds the upper limit number.

A vehicle control system includes a control device configured to execute specific automatic driving control; an image capturing device configured to capture a surrounding image of a vehicle; a display device configured to display the surrounding image; and a recording device configured to record the surrounding image. The control device includes: a first determining unit configured to determine whether the vehicle is present on a road where the specific automatic driving control is executable; and a second determining unit configured to determine whether a request to display the surrounding image is present. In a case where the first determining unit determines that the vehicle is present on the road where the specific automatic driving control is executable and the second determining unit determines that the request to display the surrounding image is absent, the recording device records the surrounding image.

A method for producing basic magnesium sulfate granules, by heating a water-containing granular composition to a temperature of 50-250&#xb0; C. to dryness. The granular composition has a water content of 10-60 wt. % and comprises fibrous basic magnesium sulfate particles, magnesium hydroxide in an amount of 5-300 weight parts per 100 weight parts of the fibrous basic magnesium sulfate particles, magnesium sulfate in an amount of 0.1-200 weight parts per 100 weight parts of a total amount of the fibrous basic magnesium sulfate particles and magnesium hydroxide. This method can give basic magnesium sulfate granules having a low bulk density and a high crushing strength.

Basic magnesium sulfate granule having high crush strength and process for production thereof

A molded propylene polymer product improved in flexural properties and/or impact resistance is prepared by a process comprising the steps of blending fibrous inorganic filler-containing pellets with a propylene polymer-containing matrix resin composition, in which the pellets comprises 35-80 wt. % of a fibrous inorganic filler, 1-45 wt. % of an olefin polymer, 5-45 wt. % of an elastomer, and 0.3-10.0 wt. % of a specific lubricant; kneading the blended product under molten condition; and molding the kneaded product.
