Abstract

A parameter storage section stores parameters to be used in electronic control units, in correlation with individual drivers. A driver identification section identifies a driver of a vehicle. A parameter retrieving section retrieves, from the parameter storage section, parameters correlated with the driver identified by the driver identification section, and supplies the retrieved parameters to the electronic control units. A parameter generation section generates parameters based on information related to the driver, and stores the generated parameters in the parameter storage section.

Claims

1. A driving control system for controlling driving of a vehicle by using an electronic control unit, the driving control system comprising:

a parameter storage section for storing parameters to be used in the electronic control unit, the parameters being stored in correlation with a driver;

a driver identification section for identifying a driver of the vehicle; and

a parameter retrieving section for retrieving parameters that are correlated with the driver identified by the driver identification section, from the parameter storage section, and for supplying the retrieved parameters to the electronic control unit.

2. The driving control system according to claim 1, wherein the parameter storage section is provided outside the vehicle, and

the parameter retrieving section retrieves the parameters that are correlated with the driver identified by the driver identification section, from the parameter storage section via communication.

4. The driving control system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a parameter generation section for generating the parameters based on information related to the driver, and storing the generated parameters in the parameter storage section.

5. The driving control system according to claim 2, further comprising:

a parameter generation section for generating the parameters based on information related to the driver, and storing the generated parameters in the parameter storage section.

3. A driving control system for controlling driving of a vehicle by using an electronic control unit, the driving control system comprising:

a parameter storage section for storing parameters to be used in the electronic control unit;

an insertion section to which the parameter storage section is removably inserted; and

a parameter retrieving section for retrieving the parameters from the parameter storage section inserted in the insertion section, and for supplying the retrieved parameters to the electronic control unit.

6. The driving control system according to claim 3, further comprising:

a parameter generation section for generating the parameters based on information related to the driver, and storing the generated parameters in the parameter storage section.
