Claim 0:
1. A control system that controls power supply in a vehicle, the control system comprising:
a plurality of sub-power managers that control respective output power of a plurality of subsystems that actualize functions of the vehicle; and
an integrated power manager that performs integrated control of output power in the overall vehicle by exchanging information with the plurality of sub-power managers, wherein:
the information that is exchanged between the plurality of sub-power managers and the integrated power manager includes information that enables calculation of a physical quantity that is expressed by at least either of a power dimension and an energy dimension;
the plurality of subsystems respectively corresponds to a plurality of domains that each include one or more apparatuses that are mounted in the vehicle and a storage unit that performs input and output of a type of energy that is prescribed in advance to and from the one or more apparatuses;
the integrated power manager plans a stored energy quantity of the storage unit in each of the domains that respectively correspond to the plurality of sub-power managers; and
the integrated power manager acquires at least either of travel-related information that is related to a traveling state and a traveling environment of the vehicle and path information that indicates an expected traveling path of the vehicle, and plans the stored energy quantities using the acquired information.
