Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a system for capturing the state of vehicle components of a vehicle for monitoring and determining the vehicle's integrity and road safety.

[0002] The current, complete, safe and roadworthy nature of the vehicle, in particular its compliance with the prescribed regulations and standards, is essentially the responsibility of the vehicle's driver, who must determine before and during the journey whether the vehicle and its systems are functioning properly and ensure road safety under the conditions to which he is exposed.

[0003] The requirements for road safety of vehicles and their systems are generally laid down by legislative bodies through regulations and standards. Compliance with the regulations is usually monitored as part of inspections by accredited inspectors from official inspection bodies, such as TUEV or DEKRA in Germany. Inspections of vehicles and their systems are usually carried out in certified inspection stations. The vehicles must therefore be presented to the inspectors on a regular basis.

[0004] However, today's vehicles and vehicle components are so complicated that it is very difficult to identify and predict the behavior of a failed system and the consequences for the driver of that failure. For example, with fewer mechanically connected human-machine interfaces, such as the steering wheel, brake pedal, accelerator pedal, and other systems connected via wires, it is becoming more difficult for the driver to recognize not only the wear state of the system, but even the failure of the system. Future developments leading to autonomous driving / highly automated driving and / or also The shared use of a vehicle by various drivers will exacerbate this problem.

[0005] driver alsoVehicle owners need to be aware of wear, breakdown, and other factors that affect current and future vehicle systems. also It is difficult to recognize changes in the vehicle state due to other events, such as tampering, accidents, hacking, etc. also At the very least, the speculation is very vague.

[0006] Determining the condition of vehicle components and their interactions requires special knowledge, special tools and more detailed inspections by official inspectors, even within the scope of vehicle maintenance and roadworthiness assessments. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a system for capturing the state of a vehicle component, by which the state of the vehicle component can be reliably captured and reliably determined in order to reliably assess not only the integrity of the vehicle component but also the road safety of the entire vehicle.
