  • Publication number: 20220353743
    Abstract: A communication device is installed on a moving body and capable of communicating with an external device via a plurality of communication lines. The communication device includes a controller configured to transmit streaming data to the external device via at least one of the plurality of communication lines. The controller determines whether or not prediction accuracy of a line quality of each of the plurality of communication lines at a moving body position being a position of the moving body satisfies an allowable condition. When the prediction accuracy of the line quality at the moving body position does not satisfy the allowable condition, the controller transmits, at the moving body position, same packets of the streaming data in parallel via the plurality of communication lines to the external device.

    Abstract: An amount of deposition of intramural PM in a particulate filter is estimated with a high degree of accuracy. A controller obtains, as a correlation between a reference value of an intramural PM deposition amount and an oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst, a change over time of an oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst according to a change of a filter PM deposition amount in a period of time from a point in time at which the filter PM deposition amount is substantially zero to a point in time at which the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst, which becomes larger according to an increase of the filter PM deposition amount, reaches a maximum value. Further, the controller estimates a current intramural PM deposition amount based on a current oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst and the correlation.
