                  analysis of a typical ISOBUS implementation for the
                  communication network of a distributed mechatronics
                  system for agricultural machines. Despite ISOBUS,
                  described by the international standard
                  communication network, is standardized under the
                  norm ISO11783, we will make an analytical overview
                  of a hybrid network for off-highway vehicles where
                  ISOBUS and FlexRay protocols co-exist. A functional
                  analysis has been conducted and a methodology for a
                  quantitative evaluation of the overall system (in
                  terms of performance and reliability) is carried
                  out. The experiments described here (including the
                  timeframe for future works) take the move from the
                  framework depicted by the regional-funded project
                  Pro-Tract: a lab has been set up to investigate
                  these items related to off-highway vehicles.}}
