The invention relates to an optical network-based automobile electric
system. The optical network-based automobile electric
system comprises a main
optical fiber, a sensor, an optical receiving and transmitting
assembly, a gateway and a
peripheral assembly of an automobile, wherein an
electric signal measured by the sensor can be converted into an optical
signal through the optical receiving and transmitting
assembly and can be transmitted to the
peripheral assembly of the automobile through a main network, the gateway and the optical receiving and transmitting assembly; the
peripheral assembly of the automobile comprises an engine ECU (
Electronic Control Unit), a
transmission system TCU (
Transmission Control Unit), a
brake system ABS (Anti-lock
Brake System), a
light control ECU, a door and window control ECU, a power distribution ECU, an antitheft ECU, an SRS (Supplementary Restraint
System) ECU, a back-up ECU, an entertainment terminal and a navigation unit. According to the optical network-based automobile electric system disclosed by the invention, an
optical control signal can be transmitted through the main
optical fiber, not only can the problems of electric
short circuit, electromagnetic disturbance and degraded and melt-down circuit be completely avoided by a
control circuit, but also various communication protocols including CAN (Controller
Area Network), LIN (
Local Interconnect Network), FlexRay and MOST (Media Oriented
System Transport) can be simultaneously compatible, a video
signal can be quickly transmitted, and the requirements on high speed and sharing of information of the automobile can be met.
