Abstract: An intervehicle network provides for communicating information regarding driving conditions experienced by one vehicle to another remotely located vehicle. By receiving information regarding oncoming driving conditions, the vehicle driver may take action to anticipate the driving condition and avoid potential hazards or inconveniences. Additionally, for vehicles having onboard dynamically adjustable systems, an electronic controller may adjust the performance of the adjustable system responsive to the driving condition information received before the vehicle reaches the location of the driving condition. Another feature of a system designed according to this invention is to have onboard diagnostics where the controller monitors one or more variables to detect when one or more vehicle components are showing signs of aging or wear. Communications between vehicles in a system designed according to this invention may be directly between the vehicles or through a central information communication module.

Abstract translation: 车间网络提供将一辆车辆经历的驾驶条件的信息传达给另一个位于远方的车辆的信息。 通过接收关于即将到来的驾驶状况的信息，车辆驾驶员可以采取行动来预测驾驶状况，并避免潜在的危险或不便。 此外，对于具有车载动态可调节系统的车辆，电子控制器可以响应于在车辆到达驾驶状况位置之前接收到的驾驶状况信息来调节可调节系统的性能。 根据本发明设计的系统的另一个特征是具有板载诊断，其中控制器监视一个或多个变量以检测何时一个或多个车辆部件显示老化或磨损的迹象。 根据本发明设计的系统中的车辆之间的通信可以直接在车辆之间或通过中央信息通信模块。
