The use of junction boxes allows the vehicle system designer to realise the benefits of harness simplification, potential automation, and resulting cost reduction. Additional attractions include a faster vehicle build time which can lead to further cost savings. By enhancing the concept to form active junction boxes, electronic serial datalinks may be incorporated at low risk to reduce harness bulk in critical areas. This paper reviews the current status of multiplexing and networking systems, introduces the concept of junction boxes and active junction boxes and ten describes a specific application of the technique to vehicle harness design.
