An alarm system includes a miniature camera (), a loudspeaker (), a vehicle speed sensor (), a longitudinal G sensor (), a lateral G sensor () and an on-vehicle unit (). A CPU () of the on-vehicle unit () executes respective programs ()&#x2013;() in a ROM (), thereby outputting, if a traveling distance during a period for which a driver D continues to take an abnormal behavior exceeds a predetermined value when a traveling state of an automobile is kept stable, an alarm corresponding to a magnitude of the excess over the predetermined value from the loudspeaker (). The alarm system is thus configured and is therefore capable of exactly outputting the alarm when a danger actually rises.

Obtaining an image frame picked up by a camerathrough a cable C, a CPUof a computeridentifies an eye area in the image frame and stores a template indicating the identified area as a tracking template. Moreover, the CPUidentifies an eye area in an image frame to be obtained subsequently on the basis of the tracking template, and calculates a correlation value between the template of the identified area and the tracking template. Furthermore, when the calculated correlation value is larger than a threshold stored in an HDin advance, the CPUstores the template indicating the identified area in the RAMas a tracking template, so as to update an eye area in a series of two image frames in chronological order.

An image sensor section and a millimeter-wave sensor section separately detect objects. A sensor matching section determines whether the objects detected by the image sensor section and the millimeter-wave sensor section are one and the same object. If the objects are one and the same object, the sensor matching section estimates a position of the obstacle after a certain period. A collision prediction section determined whether there is going to be a collision between the vehicle and the objectfrom the position estimated by the sensor matching section.

A cell multiplexing apparatus including call monitors and multiplexers. The call monitors monitor a plurality of channels for their call setting status and select at least two channels for which the same cell may be assembled, i.e., for which the destination of the calls is the same. The multiplexers receive audio information or information already assembled in asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cells from the channels selected by the call monitors, and disassemble and multiplex the received information for assembly into the payload of a new ATM cell.

A vehicle traveling control system and a vehicle control device whereby markers are detected with reliability and information about a local vehicle is transmitted to a succeeding vehicle. Information collecting unit of a preceding vehicle acquires information about the traveling state of the local vehicle associated therewith and supplies the acquired information to modulating unit. The modulating unit modulates the information supplied thereto and supplies the modulated information to blinking unit. The blinking unit causes the markers to blink in accordance with the information supplied thereto. Imaging unit of the succeeding vehicle acquires images of the markers and supplies the acquired images to specifying unit. The specifying unit specifies the marker images from within the image data output from the imaging unit. Validity determining unit determines validity of the specified marker images. Using the marker images, distance measuring unit measures a distance to the preceding vehicle. Demodulating unit demodulates information superimposed on the markers to reproduce the original information. In accordance with the information obtained from the distance measuring unit and the demodulating unit, control unit controls the traveling state of the local vehicle associated therewith.
