Controlling actuators in vehicle involves dividing driving systems into groups and carrying out measures in the event of a fault in a system that are defined depending on its group association

摘要

The method involves a coordinator generating control signals for actuators for drive systems and sending response signals to an acknowledgment device for conveying vehicle state information to the driver. The control signals are sent to a regulating system that drives the actuators accordingly. The drive systems are divided into groups and the measures carried out in the event of a fault in a system are defined depending on its group association. The method involves a coordinator (20) generating control signals for actuators (51-53) for driving systems (10-18) and sending response signals to a response device (30) for conveying vehicle state information to the driver. The control signals are sent to a regulating system (40) that drives the actuators accordingly. The driving systems are divided into groups (G1-G3) and the measures carried out in the event of a fault in a system are defined depending on its group association.
