| Abstract(E) | With the significant amount of automation and electrification paving the way for the future of automobiles, the complexity and design of the electrical harnesses have evolved to a point where a minuscule discontinuity can cease the operation of a mechanically pristine vehicle. A vehicle equipped with the best-in-class systems does not always guarantee everlasting operations every time. The wiring harness of any vehicle by its design aspect is one of the most crucial and vulnerable components. Prone to succumbing to factors such as electrical overloading, physical impact, unprofessional handling, and even sabotage, presently there lies no backup system to compensate for the loss of functions of the main electrical network in the event of a failure. In the interest of rapid re-instating of primary functions in a vehicle to make it operational in the event of an electrical failure, the concept of an emergency piggyback electrical network is delineated. Comprising of the essential routings and passive components from the main vehicle harness, cabin harness, and the front chassis harness, it provides essential connectivity between the crucial components, to make the vehicle functionally operational. A simplistic universal layout, with cross-platform compatibility, allows efficient installation over the existing malfunctioning harness, enabling lower downtime and minimizing the need for additional specialized assistance. Dealers equipped with such harnesses, may not have to maintain, and carry a large inventory in remote assistance services and have the flexibility to diagnose and repair the primary underlying problem or order the required harness without interfering with the operation of the vehicle. Preserving the primary interests of reducing vehicle downtime and minimizing repair complexities this harness has the potential to establish itself as a pivoting element in rapid repair, driving the ever-growing commercial vehicle sector. |
