Abstract:
In order to lower car fuel consumption and increase communication capacity, a wireless harness communications system that uses metal coated plastic/rubber hose (radio hose) as the communications channel is proposed. Measurements results show that the proposed system reduces conventional harness weight to 1/10, and increase reliability even if the hose is cut and/or pinched. This indicates a possibility for wireless communications systems to be adopted not as a soft safety system but a hard safety system for the first time.
