Gateways – Managing the Vehicle's Data Network
As the central electronic control module for vehicle data network management, the Gateway transmits data between various vehicle domain bus systems, such as engine compartment bus, interior bus, optical bus for multimedia and diagnostic bus for maintenance, and evaluates them. Furthermore the gateway can act as a host for additional applications and functions like vehicle energy management or vehicle power mode centrally (vehicle functional server/VFS, vehicle application server/VAS).
