System, method, and apparatus to execute vehicle communications using a zonal architecture
An example system including a vehicle having a multi-zone network comprising a plurality of network zones, each one of the network zones comprising at least one zone manager; a network monitoring controller, including a network layout circuit structured to interpret a zoned architecture communication scheme and a network layout for the vehicle; a network characterization circuit structured to interpret network activity for the vehicle, and to determine a network performance event in response to the network activity; and a network reaction circuit structured to perform a network event action in response to the network performance event.
1. A system, comprising:
a vehicle having a multi-zone network comprising a plurality of network zones, each one of the network zones comprising at least one zone manager;
a network monitoring controller, comprising:
a network layout circuit structured to interpret a zoned architecture communication scheme and a network layout for the vehicle;
a network characterization circuit structured to interpret network activity for the vehicle, and to determine a network performance event in response to the network activity; and
a network reaction circuit structured to perform a network event action in response to the network performance event.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network event action comprises:
collecting event information in response to the network performance event; and
communicating the event information to an external device.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the network reaction circuit is further structured to collect the event information as a post-event activity.
4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the network reaction circuit is further structured to collect the event information by capturing network activity utilized to determine the network performance event.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network event action comprises performing a network test.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network event action comprises performing a diagnostic.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network event action comprises adjusting the zoned architecture communication scheme.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network event action comprises implementing a redundancy plan.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network event action comprises adjusting a control responsibility of at least one end point on the multi-zone network.
