Interface for communications between vehicle applications and vehicle bus systems, implements at least one vehicle bus protocol within protocol family, between socket- and network layers

摘要

At least one vehicle bus protocol within a protocol family is implemented between the socket layer and the network layers. Network device drivers are constructed at least partially as CAN (controller area network) controllers. For each of various CAN controllers, an individual network device driver is provided. At least one network driver is implemented, by means of which a virtual connection can be made between two vehicle applications (FA1 - FAn) via the network layer.
