Computing platform for multiple intelligent transportation systems in an automotive vehicle
First Claim
1. A computing platform for multiple intelligent transportation systems in multiple different automotive vehicles, each vehicle having a plurality of sensors which generate output signals representative of different vehicle operating parameters, said platform comprising:
- a vehicle data center which receives input signals from the vehicle sensors, said vehicle data center configured to transform said input signals from sensors for the same vehicle operating parameter and having different output signals for the same value of the operating parameter into output signals having a predetermined format for each vehicle operating parameter, so that the output signal from the vehicle data center of every vehicle operating parameter at any given operating condition is identical regardless of the sensor used to detect each vehicle operating parameter,a central processing unit which receives said output signals from said vehicle data center,said central processor programmed to process said vehicle data center output signals for each intelligent transportation system and generate appropriate output signals as a result of said processing.

Abstract
A computing platform for multiple intelligent transportation systems in an automotive vehicle having a plurality of sensors which generate output signals representative of various vehicle operating parameters. The platform includes a vehicle data center which receives input signals from the vehicle sensors and the vehicle data center is configured to transform these input signals into output signals having a predetermined format for each of the vehicle operating parameters. A central processing unit receives the output signal from the vehicle data and is programmed to process the vehicle data center output signals for each of the intelligent transportation systems and generate the appropriate output signals as a result of such processing.
