Abstract

See full text

A reconfigurable vehicle power and signal distribution system (10) is disclosed. The system comprises at least one conduit section (11) for housing a first and second power rail (22), and a communication line (20) for communicating signals along the conduit. The system further comprises a transfer hub (27) which enables the transfer of power and signals to a distribution hub that comprises a plurality of terminals for separately providing conditioned power to various system modules of the vehicle. The distribution of power from the distribution hub is dependent on signals received from a control unit via the communication line, which controls the power usage within the vehicle. The system enables the at least one conduit section, transfer hub and distribution hub to be reconfigured according to the topography of the vehicle.
