Abstract: There is provided a control apparatus having two or more control units that are connected with one another through a communication path; each of the control units has a switching processing section that selects the control unit that is made to continue the operation of software for the control unit in which an abnormality has been detected, based on an operational requirement for software in which an abnormality has been detected and the security state and control state of the control unit other than the control unit in which the abnormality has been detected.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a verification apparatus for a vehicle-mounted control apparatus having a first program processing unit that executes a current program, based on an output of a sensor and outputs a processing result to an actuator unit. Because the verification apparatus has a second program processing unit that executes the current program and outputs a processing result, a third program processing unit that shares the output of the sensor unit with the second program processing unit and that executes a new program and outputs a processing result, and a comparison determination unit that compares the respective outputs, it is made possible to perform a regression test effective for the new program at low cost, without affecting operation of the vehicle-mounted control apparatus.

Abstract: A control system is obtained which is capable of detecting abnormality at an early stage by determining abnormality whether it exists or not between calculation processes which calculate a control value(s) for executing control processing of a control apparatus, even when it is executing the control processing, and, during which, unknown cyber-security attack is received. In the control processing, normal time information is compared with respective execution-time information in relation to write-and-read execution order with respect to a predetermined address range of a first storage unit used by a calculation process for calculating a control value (s), write-and-read execution timing in the predetermined address range thereof, a write-and-read value(s) in the predetermined address range thereof, and a write starting address thereof and a write size thereof; and, under the comparison by a determination unit, it determines abnormality when at least any one among those is riot coincident with one another.

Abstract: A first processing environment includes: a control processing unit configured to execute control processing on a control subject; a first storage area for storing data for controlling the control subject; and a verification determination unit. A second processing environment includes: a second storage area for storing an expected value; a verification value generation unit; and a verification execution unit. The verification value generation unit generates the verification value before the control processing is stopped. The verification execution unit executes comparison processing of comparing the expected value and the verification value before the control processing is activated.

Abstract: Provided is a cell capacity adjusting device for reducing fluctuations in state of charge (SOC) among cells of a battery pack 101, which is formed by connecting a plurality of cells 111-116 in series, during suspension of operation of electrically-powered equipment whose main power source is the battery pack 101. From among the plurality of cells 111-116, one or a plurality of cells having a voltage value equal to or higher than a cell capacity adjustment target voltage are selected. By the selected cells, an intermittent operation unit 105, which operates even during the suspension of operation of the electrically-powered equipment, is caused to perform an intermittent operation. Through repetition of the intermittent operation, voltage values of the selected cells are decreased. Thus, fluctuations in state of charge (SOC) among cells are reduced without unnecessarily discharging battery stored energy of the battery pack 101.

Abstract: Provided is an electrically driven vehicle (10) loaded with a driving storage battery (20) charged by electric power supplied from a power supply outside the vehicle, including an occupant detection sensor (70) for detecting whether or not an occupant is in the electrically driven vehicle (10), rotation sensors (80) for detecting presence/absence of rotations of wheels (90) provided to the electrically driven vehicle (10), and a charge control unit (60) for determining whether or not a state in which the occupant detection sensor (70) detects that the occupant is not in the electrically driven vehicle (10) and the wheel rotation sensors (80) detect that the wheels (90) are not rotating has continued for a predetermined period, and starting, when the charge control unit (60) determines that the state has continued for the predetermined period, the charge of the driving storage battery (20).
