A control system for a vehicle, comprising: a plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) and a central controller, wherein the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) are configured to respectively obtain status information of a plurality of domains and send the status information of the plurality of domains to the central controller, wherein the vehicle comprises the plurality of domains, and the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of domains; and, the central controller is configured to receive the status information of the plurality of domains from the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240), and generate a domain control signal based on the status information of the plurality of domains, wherein the domain control signal is used to control operating statuses of the plurality of domains, wherein the control system is characterised in that; the central controller comprises a plurality of first central communications interfaces (T1, T2, T3), each of the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) comprises a first domain communications interface (A1, A2, A3), the plurality of first central communications interfaces (T1, T2, T3) and a plurality of first domain communications interfaces (A1, A2, A3) form a plurality of communications interface pairs (T1-A1, T2-A2, T3-A3) wherein the plurality of communication interface pairs form a star network, such that the star network provides a first layer of a communications network between the central controller and the plurality of domain controllers, and the central controller communicates with the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) through the first layer of the communications network; and each of at least two domain controllers (220, 230, 240) in the plurality of domain (220, 230, 240) controllers further comprises a second domain communications interface (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6) wherein the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) form a ring network through the second domain communications interfaces (B 1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6), the ring network comprises a plurality of nodes, and each of the plurality of domain (220, 230, 240) controllers forms one node in the plurality of nodes, such that the second domain communication interfaces provide a second layer of the communications network between the at least two domain controllers, and the at least two domain controllers communicate (220, 230, 240) with each other through the second layer of the communications network; wherein when a communication fault occurs in either the first or second layer of the communications network, communication between the central controller and the at least two domain controllers is implemented through the layer of the communications network which has not failed. the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) are configured to respectively obtain status information of a plurality of domains and send the status information of the plurality of domains to the central controller, wherein the vehicle comprises the plurality of domains, and the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of domains; and, the central controller is configured to receive the status information of the plurality of domains from the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240), and generate a domain control signal based on the status information of the plurality of domains, wherein the domain control signal is used to control operating statuses of the plurality of domains, wherein the control system is characterised in that; the central controller comprises a plurality of first central communications interfaces (T1, T2, T3), each of the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) comprises a first domain communications interface (A1, A2, A3), the plurality of first central communications interfaces (T1, T2, T3) and a plurality of first domain communications interfaces (A1, A2, A3) form a plurality of communications interface pairs (T1-A1, T2-A2, T3-A3) wherein the plurality of communication interface pairs form a star network, such that the star network provides a first layer of a communications network between the central controller and the plurality of domain controllers, and the central controller communicates with the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) through the first layer of the communications network; and each of at least two domain controllers (220, 230, 240) in the plurality of domain (220, 230, 240) controllers further comprises a second domain communications interface (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6) wherein the plurality of domain controllers (220, 230, 240) form a ring network through the second domain communications interfaces (B 1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6), the ring network comprises a plurality of nodes, and each of the plurality of domain (220, 230, 240) controllers forms one node in the plurality of nodes, such that the second domain communication interfaces provide a second layer of the communications network between the at least two domain controllers, and the at least two domain controllers communicate (220, 230, 240) with each other through the second layer of the communications network; wherein when a communication fault occurs in either the first or second layer of the communications network, communication between the central controller and the at least two domain controllers is implemented through the layer of the communications network which has not failed.
