The noise reflector is disposed on a lower side of a lower surface of the side member, has a sound reflective surface tilted from a vertical direction to be directed downward as being gradually laterally distant from an engine, and is configured to reflect downward engine sound received by the sound reflective surface and cause the engine sound thus reflected to interfere with engine sound passing below the side member.

Abstract: An active period that is expressed by a range of a count value t[x] and is a period during which communication of a packet with an outside is permitted and an inactive period that is expressed by a range of the count value t[x] and is a period during which communication of a packet with an outside is prohibited are defined in schedule data. A wireless communication interface communicates a packet with the outside during the active period. A power supply controller cuts off power supplied to the wireless communication interface during the inactive period. A synchronous controller updates a count value of a counter based on a synchronous data value in the received packet during a reception operation of the packet, define the synchronous data value based on the updated count value t[y] during a transmission operation of the packet, and store it in the packet to be transmitted.
