Failure sensing device of vehicle control system
First Claim
1. A failure sensing device of a vehicle control system including a control unit generating a control target based on an operation request for controlling a driving state of a vehicle by manipulating a corresponding actuator using the generated control target, and a processing unit connected to said control unit by a network, for generating and providing to said control unit additional information to be used to modify said operation request or said control target, as necessary, at said control unit, whereinsaid failure sensing device is provided to said control unit with smaller control load, and includesan output portion outputting information to said processing unit with greater control load,a receiving portion receiving a response corresponding to said information from said processing unit, anda sensing portion sensing a failure in said processing unit based on said information and said response.

Abstract
A vehicle control system is configured by basic control units of a power train control unit, a steering control unit and a brake control unit that are arranged in a lower control hierarchy level, a vehicle motion control manager unit that is arranged in a middle control hierarchy level, and a driving support control unit that is arranged in an upper control hierarchy level. The basic control units transmits input data to vehicle motion control manager unit of middle control hierarchy level and/or driving support control unit of upper control hierarchy level, and receives a calculation result of the input data substituted into a predetermined calculation formula at vehicle motion control manager unit and/or driving support control unit. If the input data and the calculation result data are not consistent, it determines that there is a failure in vehicle motion control manager unit and/or driving support control unit.
