The roadside unit 1 comprises: a position-information-acquiring unit 112 that acquires position information that indicates a position of a moving body 3; and a signal output processing unit 130 that compares the position information and prohibited sector information that indicates a prohibited sector A in which movement of the moving body 3 is prohibited, and, on the basis of the compared result, outputs a prohibition signal P that prohibits movement of the moving body 3 in the prohibited sector A. The signal output processing unit 130 determines, on the basis of the compared result, whether or not the moving body 3 is present in the prohibited sector A, and outputs the prohibition signal when it has been determined that the moving body 3 is present in the prohibited sector A.

Abstract

This composite structure 1 is a structure in which an illumination device 3 and a wireless communication device 17 have been integrated and composited. A light transmission member 7 is placed on the opening side of a micro-foamed resin sheet 15 having a depression-like recessed shape. A light guide space 19 is formed between the molded micro-foamed resin sheet 15 and the light transmission member 7. An LED light source 13 is placed on a substrate 11. A wireless communication device 17 is placed on the back surface side of the micro-foamed resin sheet 15 which is the side opposite to the light guide space 19. In the composite structure 1, the micro-foamed resin sheet 15 placed in front of the wireless communication device 17 functions as a portion of a housing of the illumination device 3, and is placed so as to contact a radio wave-emitting surface of the wireless communication device 17. As a result, it is possible to obtain a composite structure of an illumination device and a wireless communication device that not only excels in light diffusion reflectance properties and low radio wave transmission loss, but also excels in radio wave scattering loss.

Abstract

Provided is a lead-acid storage battery system and a lead-acid storage battery life estimation method capable of accurately estimating a remaining life of a lead-acid storage battery by calculating a capacity turnover value during operation, taking into account the magnitude of DOD. A lead-acid storage battery system (S) estimates the remaining life of a lead-acid storage battery (B) by comparing a capacity turnover value from the beginning to the end of life with a capacity turnover value during operation. The lead-acid storage battery system (S) is provided with a capacity turnover value calculating unit (137) for calculating the capacity turnover value during operation. The capacity turnover value calculating unit (137) calculates the capacity turnover value during operation using a DOD-based correction factor Kdod (c) calculated on the basis of DOD, which represents a depth of discharge calculated by dividing an integrated discharge capacity from when the lead-acid storage battery (B) began discharging, by a rated capacity of the lead-acid storage battery (B).
