Development and structure of networked commercial vehicle systems

Starting from mostly mechanical control systems, a wide acceptance of electronic control systems in the commercial vehicle took place in the '80 decade. The initial use of stand-alone systems was more and more replaced by networked electronic vehicle systems. initially, vehicle electronics were mainly used for the implementation of increasingly complex functions of the drive-train management More functions are being added today with increasing safety and comfort requirements; new concepts for solutions and new technologies are necsssary. This presentation describes the development of electronic systems in the commercial vehicle and future structures of electronic networking.
