Abstract

In a sensor system, a monitoring ECU includes a result-transmission-instruction transmission section that transmits through a signal line a measurement result transmission instruction for transmitting distance data. The result-transmission-instruction transmission section transmits, during a new detection operation, the measurement result transmission instruction to at least one of the ultrasonic sensors engaged in a last detection operation. Upon receipt of the measurement result transmission instruction, a communication section of the ultrasonic sensors transmits a detection result during the new detection operation.
