On-vehicle system, externality recognition sensor, electronic control device

Abstract

This on-vehicle system is to be mounted in a vehicle and is provided with an electronic control device and an externality recognition sensor. The externality recognition sensor is equipped with a sensing unit for acquiring pre-processing externality information through sensing operations. The on-vehicle system is further equipped with: a condition calculation unit that, on the basis of a vehicle position, a vehicle traveling direction, and map information, calculates a processing condition in which information specifying an area on a map is associated with processing priority of the pre-processing externality information acquired by the externality recognition sensor; and a processing object determination unit that, on the basis of the pre-processing externality information and the processing condition, creates externality information having a smaller amount of information compared with the pre-processing externality information.
