  • Control system for motor vehicles
    Patent number: 6907330
    Abstract: In a control system for motor vehicles having a plurality of functional subsystems, such as a passenger compartment controller, a telematics system, a drive controller and a chassis controller, each functional subsystem has a plurality of control devices, and a central databus. Control devices of different subsystems are combined, in accordance with their spatial arrangement in the vehicle, to form local modules and are connected to one another by means of a module bus. Each module bus is connected to the central databus by means of a module interface.
