An inter-vehicle transfer apparatus in a vehicle includes a pulse transformer and auxiliary coils. The pulse transformer includes a first coil wound around a core and connected at one end to an electrical coupler; a capacitor connected at one end to the other end of the coil; and a second coil wound around the core in the same direction as the first coil, connected at one end to the other end of the capacitor, and connected at the other end to the electrical coupler. One auxiliary coil is connected at one end to the first coil. The other auxiliary coil is connected at one end to the second coil. In the inter-vehicle transfer apparatus, the other end of one auxiliary coil and the other end of the other auxiliary coil are connected to each other to enable application of a direct-current voltage across contact portions in the electrical coupler.

The disclosure involves wireless electric power sharing between vehicles. A first vehicle sends a charging request, wherein the first vehicle is at least partially powered by a first on-board rechargeable electricity storage. The first vehicle receives a response to the charging request from a second vehicle which is at least partially powered by a second on-board rechargeable electricity storage, and a communication channel is established between the first and second vehicles. The first on-board rechargeable electricity storage is charged using energy stored in the second on-board rechargeable electricity storage and wirelessly transferred from the second vehicle to the first vehicle. The charging is controlled with information exchanged between the first and second vehicles over the communication channel.

A motor driving control apparatus in the embodiment includes: a first controller configured to control powering and regeneration of a motor; a second controller configured to control the first controller; and assistant circuitry configured to activate the second controller in a stop state, when a counter electromotive force caused by the motor, which is rotated without control by the first controller, satisfies a predetermined condition, before a power-on instruction for the motor driving control apparatus is made or in a state where the power-on instruction for the motor driving control apparatus is not made.

A transmission system includes: a hub to receive a control command from two or more controllers that control operation of an in-vehicle machinery installed in a train, and to control an output of the control command on the basis of a priority assigned to the control command, and a system-controller to determine an operating state of a controller that is a source of the control command, the system-controller being capable of changing a priority assigned to a control command transmitted from a controller whose operating state has been determined, on the basis of a determination result.

An object is to provide an in-train transmission control system which can minimize delay in transmission of command data to devices further than the conventional art, in which a central unit provided in any car of a train formation composed of one or more cars and controlling operation of the entire train formation transmits command data to devices provided in some or all of the cars and in which the devices transmit device data to the central unit. The control system comprises relay device provided in the car, and line concentrator allowing the command data to pass therethrough, and when receiving device data from the devices, transmitting the device data to the relay device. The relay device aggregates the device data received from the line concentrator to transmit the aggregated data to the central unit.
