Title:
VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/148324
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
When a temperature (T) detected by a thermistor built inside a camera unit exceeds a preset temperature (T1)(S2:Y), at least a process, among processes executed by a CPU built inside the camera unit, that relates only to LKA or AHB (such as a white line recognizing process) is stopped (S7). Then, the amount of heat generated by the CPU decreases, whereby the temperature inside the housing also decreases. In this way, even when the PCS control is continuously performed by continuing electric power supply to an imaging element in the camera unit, performance of the imaging element could be maintained in some cases, thus allowing the electric power supply to the imaging element to continue in a satisfactory manner for a long period.
