Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Personenkraftwagen und Nutzfahrzeuge, verfügen über eine Vielzahl von Bedienelementen im Fahrzeuginnenraum. Hierzu zählen unter anderem Druckschalter, Wippschalter, Drehschalter, Drehregler und Touch-Screen-Bildschirme. Diese Bedienelemente sind heute elektrisch verkabelt. Bei Betätigung der Bedienelemente wird die Betätigung selbst, die Stellung des Bedienelements nach der Betätigung oder der Ort der Berührung bei einem Touch-Screen-Bildschirm an die Fahrzeugelektrik bzw. -elektronik gemeldet. Hierauf wird die entsprechende Aktion ausgelöst, beispielsweise das Aktivieren der Fahrzeugbeleuchtung oder die Anpassung der Lautstärke des Radiogeräts. Die Verkabelung der Bedienelemente ist – ebenso wie die Fehlerlokalisierung und Instandsetzung im Falle eines Defekts – zeitaufwendig und teuer.Vehicles, in particular passenger cars and commercial vehicles, have a Variety of controls in the vehicle interior. These include under other pressure switch, rocker switch, rotary switch, rotary control and Touch-screen displays. These controls are now electrically wired. When pressed the controls become the actuation itself, the position of the operating element after actuation or the place of touch with a touch-screen screen to the vehicle electrical system or electronics reported. Then the corresponding action is triggered, for example activating the vehicle lighting or adjusting the volume of the vehicle Radio device. The wiring of the controls is - as well as the fault location and repair in case of failure - time consuming and expensive.
