To electronically connect a plurality of vehicles to each other, and to appropriately change a lane.SOLUTION: A plurality of vehicles each comprise a length measuring system 100 comprising a vehicle detection part 110 for detecting a position of a front vehicle traveling ahead of a preceding vehicle in an electronically connecting vehicle group, and a position of a rear vehicle traveling at the rear of a following vehicle in the electronically connecting vehicle group in a lane adjacent to lanes where the electronically connecting vehicle group, in which the plurality of vehicles are electronically connected, travels; an inter-vehicle communication part 130 for receiving the position of the front vehicle and the position of the rear vehicle that are detected by the other vehicle different from the vehicles detecting the position of the front vehicle and the position of the rear vehicle, among the plurality of vehicles constituting the electronically connecting vehicle group; and a control part 150 for calculating a distance between the front vehicle and the rear vehicle, based on the position of the front vehicle and the position of the rear vehicle that are detected, and the position of the front vehicle and the position of the rear vehicle that are detected by the other vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】複数の車両を電子連結させ、適切に車線変更させること。【解決手段】測長システム100は、複数の車両が電子連結されている電子連結車両群が走行する車線と隣接している車線において、電子連結車両群の先行車両よりも前方を走行する前方車両の位置と、電子連結車両群の後続車両よりも後方を走行する後方車両の位置とを検出する車両検出部110と、電子連結車両群を構成する複数の車両のうち、前方車両の位置と、後方車両の位置とを検出した車両とは異なる他車両が検出した前方車両の位置と、後方車両の位置とを受信する車車間通信部130と、検出した前方車両の位置および後方車両の位置と、他車両が検出した前方車両の位置および後方車両の位置とに基づいて、前方車両と、後方車両との間の距離を算出する制御部150と、を複数の車両のそれぞれが備える。【選択図】図1
