A method is provided for determining an address of a component of a vehicle, wherein a vehicle identification is determined and stored in a first field of the address, and wherein an identification of the component is stored in a second field of the address. Furthermore, a method for accessing a component of a vehicle, in particular, a control unit of the vehicle, by use of the determined address of the component is provided, as well as a vehicle with at least one such component is also proposed.

Method for determining an address of a component of a vehicle

A gateway for a vehicle communication system is configured to forward a payload message from a first node of a first fieldbus system to a second node of a second fieldbus system, wherein the first and the second fieldbus systems are different. The gateway is configured to synchronize a first clock in the first node with a second clock in the second node.

Gateway, nodes, and method for a vehicle

The invention proposes a method for processing data in a vehicle in which the data are received by a first processing unit via a network; in which the data are decoded by the first processing unit; and in which a piece of reproduction information comprising an output time or a piece of synchronization information is transmitted to the second processing unit. In addition, an appropriate apparatus is specified.

Method and apparatus for synchronizing data in two processing units in a vehicle

A system and method are provided for direct data exchange between two or more vehicles for transmission of data relating to events having a negative effect on driving safety, via wireless communication such as WLAN in particular. Unambiguous identification information is assigned to each vehicle. To increase acceptance of such a system, the identification information of the respective vehicle is temporary and is formed on the basis of the current status of the vehicle.
