Abstract: An apparatus includes a conduit configured to circulate magnetic fluid, and a magnetic field generator that applies a magnetic field to the magnetic fluid. The conduit includes at least four areas of a first conduit area in which the magnetic fluid receives heat from a heating unit, a second conduit area from the first conduit area to a cooling unit, a third conduit area in which the magnetic fluid is cooled by the cooling unit, and a fourth conduit area from the cooling unit to the heating unit. When the apparatus is used, a volume of the magnetic fluid in one of the first to fourth conduit areas, in which a flow direction of the magnetic fluid coincides with a gravity direction, is larger than that of another conduit area, in which the flow direction of the magnetic fluid does not coincide with the gravity direction.

Abstract: If there is a detection point that is erroneously recognized as an obstacle even though the detection point indicates a control-target vehicle, an obstacle that does not exist has been detected near the control-target vehicle. Consequently, the control-target vehicle might become unable to autonomously travel in an attempt to avoid a collision with the erroneously recognized obstacle. Considering this, an object indicated by a detection point that is detected by a road-side sensor and that exists within a certain distance range from a position of a control-target vehicle specified by an image recognition camera of a road-side unit, is not regarded as an obstacle.
