Abstract
An in-vehicle sensor () measures a distance by observing reflected waves of a plurality of signals having radiation angles that are different from each other at least in a perpendicular direction. In a sensor control apparatus (), a ground detection unit () detects the ground based on a measurement result of the in-vehicle sensor (). A sensor control unit (), according to a relationship between radiation angles of a plurality of signals from the in-vehicle sensor (), and the measurement result of the in-vehicle sensor (), adjusts, of these plurality of signals, radiation angles of at least some signals next time when the at least some signals are radiated from the in-vehicle sensor ().
