VEHICLE CONTROL ARCHITECTURE BASED ON CENTRAL COORDINATION OF LOCALLY APPLIED AND UPDATABLE MOTION SUPPORT DEVICE ABSTRACTIONS

A wheel end computer, WEC, () for hosting and executing one or more motion support device abstraction modules (MSDA, ) configured to monitor and/or to control operations of one or more respective motion support devices, MSDs, () on a heavy duty vehicle, where an MSDA provides a control and/or a monitoring interface between an external vehicle unit computer (VUC, ), and a respective MSDs operational functionality, wherein the WEC () is arranged to identify a matching MSDA for each MSD in a set of MSDs, such that each MSD connected to the WEC is matched to a respective MSDA, and wherein the WEC () is arranged to receive a monitor and/or a control command from the VUC () for monitoring and/or controlling an MSD connected to the WEC, and to control the MSD via the respective matching MSDA.
