<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a monitoring system capable of gathering different types of data, gathering additional data, or responding to changing data requirements without replacing and extensive redesign. <P>SOLUTION: The reconfigurable monitoring arrangement 50 includes a housing 58 securable relative to a vehicle 12, a communication base 62 at least partially disposed within the housing 58, and a universal connector assembly 86 configured to selectively operatively connect the communication base 62 with a first module 74, a second module 78 and a third module 90. As a bus connector part 82a, 82b, 82c has a same format for the universal connector assembly 86, the monitoring system 50 can be reconfigured to include different arrangements including the first module 74, the second module 78 and the third module 90. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
