Abstract: An array of control devices having a plurality of control devices (1-3, 20-23) which are interconnected via a first data bus (4), in a means of transportation, control devices (1-3; 20-23) which are of redundant configuration with respect to a control function being provided, and in each case a data bus isolating switch (5) being assigned to the control devices (1-3; 20-23) which are of redundant configuration, the data bus isolating switch(s) connecting or disconnecting the data bus (4) as a function of an evaluation signal. In order to optimize the redundant array, each of these data bus isolating switches (5) is connected to a signal line of at least one further redundant control device (1-3; 20-23), a further redundant control device (2, 3; 21; 23) transmits an evaluation signal to the data bus isolating switch (5) which is assigned to a first redundant control device (1; 20; 22).

Abstract: A system and a method for directionally stabilizing a vehicle with the aid of a steering system used for influencing a steering angle of the vehicle steered wheels and a stabilizing system which controls the steering system for increasing the vehicle directional stability is provided. The stabilizing system is characterized in that the stabilizing system controls the steering system according to the lateral force factor of at least one steered wheel for defining the steering angle stabilizing the vehicle, wherein the stabilizing system adjusts the slip angle of the steered wheels in such a way that the lateral force factor does not substantially exceed the maximum range thereof.

Abstract: A method for operating a software module on a processor unit in a vehicle optimizes the processor utilization level in networked controllers. The controller on which the software module is operated is selected based on the available computation capacity of the controllers which are currently in operation.
