Processor work distribution method for motor vehicle involves transferring processing to microprocessors with low probability of failure before actual loss of microprocessors determined to have highest probability of failure

摘要

The possibility or occurrence of impact to a motor vehicle (1) is determined through an acceleration sensor (4) and impact sensor (3), up-to-date available information and vehicle specifications. Primary places of concern are determined to ascertain the microprocessors (21-27) having the highest probability of failure. Relevant safety functions transfer processing to the microprocessors with a low probability of failure before the actual loss of the microprocessors with the highest probability of failure.
