During the manufacturing process of the middle layer, the data processing unit is integrated into it and connected to the wireless communication module and the vehicle control system through electrical lines. The data processing unit is responsible for receiving, processing, and analyzing the data transmitted by the sensors, and communicating with the vehicle control system through the wireless communication module to achieve real-time data transmission and sharing. The wireless communication module also exchanges signals with the outside world. When violent vibration, abnormally high temperature, and high pressure on the roof are detected, the vehicle alarm is automatically triggered and a signal is sent to the outside world to alert and request assistance. This allows the middle layer to provide various vehicle data at the time while improving performance and automatically trigger the alarm system to improve safety. 3. During the manufacturing process of the roof, the roof surface layer and the top body are designed and manufactured separately, and then the two are combined through a fixed connection. The roof surface layer provides decorative effects, and the top body provides structural support and strength.
