1. An electronic control unit for a vehicle, comprising:
- a threshold acquiring element that acquires a plurality of thresholds for defining a plurality of determination conditions;
a behavior determining element that determines whether a vehicle behavior satisfies any of the plurality of the determination conditions defined by the thresholds;
a temporarily storing element that temporarily stores operation data of the vehicle when the vehicle behavior satisfying any of the plurality of the determination conditions in a corresponding one of a plurality of different regions of a storage unit, the plurality of different regions being correspondingly provided for the plurality of the determination conditions;
a road condition acquiring element that acquires an actual road condition on which the vehicle actually travels;
an operation data determining element that determines whether a road condition of each of the operation data temporarily stored corresponds to the actual road condition of when each of the operation data was temporarily stored; and
a formally storing element that formally stores the operation data the road condition of which is determined to correspond to the actual road condition by the operation data determining element.

Abstract
An electronic control unit includes a threshold acquiring element, a behavior determining element and a storing element. The threshold acquiring element acquires a threshold for defining a determination condition. The threshold is set to correspond to a road condition on which a vehicle travels. The behavior determining element determines whether a vehicle behavior satisfies the determination condition defined by the threshold. The storing element stores predetermined operation data of the vehicle when the behavior determining element determines that the vehicle behavior satisfies the determination condition.

-
a threshold acquiring element that acquires a plurality of thresholds for defining a plurality of determination conditions; a behavior determining element that determines whether a vehicle behavior satisfies any of the plurality of the determination conditions defined by the thresholds; a temporarily storing element that temporarily stores operation data of the vehicle and a time the operation data being temporarily stored when the vehicle behavior satisfying any of the plurality of the determination conditions in a corresponding one of a plurality of different regions of a storage unit, the plurality of different regions being correspondingly provided for the plurality of the determination conditions; a road condition acquiring element that acquires a current road condition on which the vehicle currently travels; an actual road condition determining element that determines an actual road condition when each of the operation data was temporarily stored based on the current road condition and an elapsed time from the time each of the operation data being temporarily stored; and a formally storing element that formally stores the operation data the road condition of which is determined to correspond to the actual road condition by the actual road condition determining element.
