Abstract

A data system of a towing vehicle and/or trailer vehicle includes a control device, a sensor system configured to record and process sensor data, and a BUS system configured to transfer the sensor data between the control device and the sensor system. The BUS system has a first BUS device in the form of a CAN BUS and a second BUS device in the form of an ETHERNET BUS, and the BUS system further has a first interface configured to transfer the sensor data to a second interface of a second BUS system of a second data system of a second towing vehicle and/or trailer vehicle. The data system additionally includes an intelligent switch, coupled to the control device and/or to the first interface, the intelligent switch being configured to couple the first towing vehicle and/or trailer vehicle to the second towing vehicle and/or trailer vehicle in a coordinated manner.
