First Claim
1. A vehicle integrated control system comprising:
- a plurality of nodes coupled to an intra-vehicle communication network and including control means for controlling at least one of operations of a plurality of functional elements of a vehicle; and
a manager for supplying operation commands to more than one of the control means, the control means controlling the operation of the functional element thereof on the basis of inputted operation command, wherein the manager is included in at least one of nodes having the control means that controls the functional element capable of avoiding a danger of the vehicle on emergency out of a plurality of the control means of a target supplied with the operation commands, and wherein the manager supplies the operation commands through the intra-vehicle communication network to, out of a plurality of the control means of the target supplied with the operation commands, the control means in the nodes other than the node including the same, and supplies the operation command through the intra-node communication to, out of a plurality of the control means of the target supplied with the operation commands, the control means included by the node including the same for controlling the functional element capable of avoiding a danger of the vehicle on emergency.
