Spanish term or phrase: la lógica del vehículo
This appears in the technical description of a brake system for a commuter train in Spain.

First it comes up here:
El enclavamiento entre el freno electrodinámico y el freno mecánico está bajo el mando de la lógica del vehículo.

And then here:
En el bogie remolque, la BCU (Brake Control Unit) realiza el interface del freno hidráulico con la lógica del vehículo.

And then here:
La unidad de control de frenos (BCU) tiene un interface con la lógica del vehículo y el control de tracción para conseguir un funcionamiento integrado y sincronizado de los vehículos.

Also OBD or "onboard diagnostics". OBD, is an automotive term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic and reporting capability.

Despite all my agrees, I'd probably use Billh's "Logic Control Unit" in this particular case.

agree  Charles Davis: I think the Americans sometimes call it an "IN-vehicle computer", but "onboard" is surely standard and seems to be OK both sides of the pond.
