Abstract
An example system includes a vehicle having a first network and a second network of a different type than the first network; and a communication device interposed between the first network and the second network and structured to: generate network status data by monitoring communications of one or more devices on the first and/or the second networks; and transmit the network status data to a sensor device external to the vehicle.
Claims28
A system comprising:
- a vehicle having a first network and a second network of a different type than the first network;
- and
- a communication device interposed between the first network and the second network and structured to:
- generate network status data by monitoring communications of one or more devices on the first and/or the second networks;
- and
- transmit the network status data to a sensor device external to the vehicle.
3 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a first network interface circuit structured to interpret first communications data of a first network onboard a vehicle;
- a second network interface circuit structured to interpret second communications data of a second network onboard the vehicle, the second network of a different type than the first network;
- and
- a network status circuit structured to generate network status data by monitoring the interpreted first and/or the second communications data;
- wherein the first and/or the second network interface circuit is further structured to transmit the network status data.
