Abstract: Each of a plurality of distance sensors is provided adjacent to a corresponding one of a plurality of displaceable portions that are displaced upon application of at least one of a brake force and a drive force to a tire. Each distance sensor measures an amount of displacement of the corresponding displaceable portion upon the application of the at least one of the brake force and the drive force to the tire. An ECU computes a target tire receiving force component based on the amounts of displacement, which are measured with the plurality of displacement measurement sensors, respectively, while eliminating an unnecessary tire receiving force component.

Abstract: When a brake force control arrangement senses starting of application of a swingback inducing force on a vehicle body through an application start timing sensing arrangement, the brake force control arrangement reduces a brake force. Then, when the brake force control arrangement senses ending of the application of the swingback inducing force on the vehicle body through an application end timing sensing arrangement, the brake force control arrangement increases the brake force.

Abstract: A radio communication system has a fixed radio communication unit that sends a request for authentication, and portable radio communication units. Each portable radio communication unit receives the request, transmits presence information to the portable radio communication units, and determines whether presence information from more than one portable radio communication unit was received. When it is determined that the presence information from only one portable radio communication unit was received, the portable radio communication unit transmits an answer to the fixed radio communication unit. When it is determined that presence information from more than one portable radio communication unit was received, each portable radio communication unit sets a response delay time by a specified setting method, and after a lapse of the response delay time, an answer is sent to the fixed radio communication unit.
