Abstract
A method for processing messages sent from software applications in a vehicle: Messages are received from an application, a user, or a sensor. The method generates outgoing messages based on message type received, and associates software applications with communication managers configured to attach message labels to messages, with the message label having at least a destination address. The outgoing message is transmitted through communication managers associated with software applications, arriving at a priority manager within the network. The priority manager receives outgoing message and ranks the priority value for the messages, and reassigns new priority values to messages that relate to collision circumstances. The priority manager sends the message with the new priority value to its destination address based on the message label. The message is received as an incoming message to be processed in the real-time vehicle applications according to the message labels.
