A measuring and controlling apparatus for a vehicle includes an image processing
device, which is mounted on a vehicle, photographs a circumferential state of the
vehicle and processes the image signal; a radar signal processing device, which
radiates radio wave or light to process a receiving signal; and a control device
for controlling a brake, a throttle valve or a transmission based on the output
results of the image processing device and the radar signal processing device.
In such a measuring and controlling apparatus for a vehicle, the respective output
information of the image processing device and the radar signal processing device
includes time information at the time of photographing and time information at
the time of measuring and the order of the photographed time and the measured time
are adjusted. Thus, even if the processing time differs between the cases where
a subject to be photographed is simple and complicated, since the photographed
time and the measured time can be identified, the suitable processing according
to the processing time can be executed. Thus, the running state of the vehicle
can be controlled with high accuracy.
