A distributed vehicle information processing and vehicle control system has at least one first system part on board the vehicle side and at least a second system part, each for carrying out one or more vehicle-related application functions, with the system parts communicating with one another via an associated data transmission network. The systems parts have a component-based construction composed of different components, which communicate with one another in order to carry out different functions. Each component has a function-calling interface, via which the function carried out by the component can be called up by other components, in this system part or in another system part, and a configuration interface via which its configuration can be defined and varied. A configuration manager unit, provided for this purpose, configures the components via this interface depending on what other components are present in the system.

1. A distributed vehicle information processing and vehicle control system comprising: a first system part situated on board the vehicle and having hardware and software to perform at least a first vehicle-related information processing function; at least one second system part situated at a location physically separate from said first system part, and having hardware and software to perform at least a second vehicle-related information processing function; and a data transmission network via which said first system part and said at least one second system part communicate with one another, wherein: each of the first system part and the at least one second system part includes different software components which perform differing functionality, and which communicate and cooperate with one another to carry out different vehicle related applications using shared functionality of said components; each of said components has a function-calling interface, via which a function carried out by the component is accessible by other components in the same system part or in another system part, and a configuration interface, via which a configuration of the component is definable and variable; a configuration manager component is provided for configuring each component via its respective configuration interface, depending on what other components are present in the system, and depending on a location or relocation of components as between said first system part and said at least one second system part; and said system includes means for addition of components to or removal of components from, or movement of one or more components dynamically between, said first system part and said at least one second system part. 2. The distributed system according to claim 1, further comprising a component loader which is associated with the components of a respective system part. 3. The distributed system according to claim 1, wherein the components in a respective system part are grouped hierarchically on a function-specific basis in an application component layer, an interface component layer, and an intermediate aggregation component layer. 4. The distributed system according to claim 1, wherein respective application components communicate one of directly, using an interface-based model, and via a data-maintenance component, using an event-controlled model.
