Vehicle Control System
First Claim
1. An actuator controller interconnected via a network to a sensor controller for taking in sensor signals and a command controller for generating a control command based on the sensor signals taken in by said sensor controller, the actuator controller receiving the control command from said command controller and operating an actuator to control a vehicle,wherein said actuator controller is configured to control said actuator based on the sensor signals taken in by said sensor controller and received by said actuator controller via the network when the control command generated by said command controller is abnormal.

Abstract
A vehicle control system which can ensure high reliability, real-time processing, and expandability with a simplified ECU configuration and a low cost by backing up an error through coordination in the entire system without increasing a degree of redundancy of individual controllers beyond the least necessary level. The vehicle control system comprises a sensor controller for taking in sensor signals indicating a status variable of a vehicle and an operation amount applied from a driver, a command controller for generating a control target value based on the sensor signals taken in by the sensor controller, and an actuator controller for receiving the control target value from the command controller and operating an actuator to control the vehicle, those three controller being interconnected via a network. The actuator controller includes a control target value generating unit for generating a control target value based on the sensor signals taken in by the sensor controller and received by the actuator controller via the network when the control target value generated by the command controller is abnormal, and controls the actuator in accordance with the control target value generated by the control target value generating unit.
