System for a Vehicle with Redundant Computers
First Claim
1. A control and/or management system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
- maneuvering actuators configured to maneuver the vehicle;
system actors configured to control inner system components of the vehicle;
sensors configured to acquire data associated with the system actors or maneuvering actuators; and
at least two redundant computers configured to control or manage the vehicle,wherein the system further comprises at least one ofat least two redundant vehicle management computers communicatively interconnected with the maneuvering actuators, system actors, and sensors, wherein one of the at least two redundant vehicle management computers is configured to generate system control commands for each maneuvering actuators and for each system actor based on the data acquired by the sensors,at least two redundant remote interface units configured to interconnect a sensor or a system actor with the at least two vehicle management computersat least two redundant actuator control computers configured to receive maneuvering commands from the at least two vehicle control computers, wherein each actuator control computer is adapted to generate control commands for each maneuvering actuator based on received maneuvering commands, anda common interface, wherein the common interface is directly connected to the at least two redundant computers.
