New concept of vehicle intelligent harness system design

At present, vehicle harnesses are composed according to a single function. As various electronic devices are applied in vehicles more and more, the power wiring and central signal wiring increase day by day. It is an inexorable developing trend that vehicle harnesses are more network-based and more intelligent. If one can use the concept of an electric power network on a vehicle, this will not only save money, but will also increase its utility. This concept can be used in various vehicles, and makes power harnesses more rational, economic and reliable. A next-generation intelligent harness system can consist of actual and imaginary nodes made up by signals which come from transducers, control components, ECU units and can operate in coordination with communication. It can realize integral optimization, centralized control and self-diagnosis
