Abstract
A vehicle may be modified to include a secondary data network forming a proprietary communication system used in the operation, maintenance, diagnostics, programming, and logistics of a mobility system. The secondary data network may be coupled to the vehicle's OEM CAN bus via a gateway module. The gateway module can receive and selectively recode data from the OEM CAN bus that is relevant to the mobility system and re-broadcast the recoded data on the secondary data. The gateway module may also receive and selectively recode data from the secondary data network that is relevant to the vehicle and re-broadcast the recoded data on the OEM CAN bus.
