An apparatus for providing a redundant communication within a vehicle architecture is disclosed. The vehicle architecture includes a plurality of commanded units, each being configured to be controlled by redundant communication lines. The apparatus includes at least a first control unit and a second control unit, which are connected by an interlink communication line and which are each configured to: communicate with the commanded units through one of the redundant communications lines; and communicate with each other through the communication lines by controlling at least one of the plurality of commanded units to act as a gateway unit and to forward information between the redundant communication lines.

Apparatus and a method for providing a redundant communication within a vehicle architecture and a corresponding control architecture

A control architecture for a vehicle connects a first control unit to a first vehicle communication network. A second control unit is connected to a second vehicle communication network. Commands are received by a plurality of commanded units from the first control unit and/or the second control unit over communication lines. An interlink communication line is connected between the first control unit to the second control unit.
