Vehicle distributed network providing feedback to a user

摘要

A vehicle distributed network subsystem (20; 30; 50; 60; 70; 80; 90; 100) for providing feedback to a user comprises a plurality of electronic control units (ECUs) each having an associated processor or signal conditioning device such as a filter or a gate. Two or more human-to-machine interfacing terminals provide feedback to the driver. The ECUs can communicate with one another and with said terminals over a data transmission means (6; 13; 39; 101). The data transmission means is configured to receive data from at least one data source. The subsystem is configured to define a nominated ECU (10; 32; 72) for generating processed data from data received from said data transmission means, and the subsystem is configured to deliver said processed data to each of said terminals for consistent output to the user.
