An intelligent wiring system for a road vehicle has a master unit (1) linked to slave units (4) in communication with vehicle equipment by a dedicated multiplex highway (2). The system operates to bring the equipment to a failsafe condition, selectively or in response to detection of a fault, in which the vehicle can be operated manually, the equipment being preferably then grounded. The slave units can be of modular construction so as to facilitate adaptation to different items of vehicle equipment and the system can be operated at a speed such that the highway can be constituted by conventional automobile cable. |
