Vehicle control device conditions processing method e.g. for controlling engine functions, involves reading in relevant environmental conditions for determining systems conditions

摘要

There are three status variables, A-C. A first field (32) equals 'A inactive'. A second field (34) contains a systems condition 'B OK'. A third field (36) has a systems condition 'B inactive'. A fourth field (38) has the condition 'C OK' and a fifth field (40) has the condition 'C inactive'. Interchange direction (42) is possible between conditions set parallel to each other. Once determined, systems conditions are forwarded to a common interface (46). Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) A computer program with program code devices for carrying out the stages of the method of the present invention; (b) and for a computer program product with program code devices stored on a computer-readable data medium to carry out the method of the present invention.
