CAN BASED AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE CONTROL

Abstract

CAN architecture has been adopted to meet the requirements of modern vehicles, aiming to minimize the need for extensive wiring harnesses and facilitate data communication within the vehicle environment. By employing a CAN bus-based network, the advantages over traditional point-to-point schemes include enhanced flexibility and scalability for future technological advancements. This project focuses on developing and implementing a digital driving system for a semi-autonomous vehicle, aiming to enhance the driver-vehicle interface. The system utilizes an Arduino UNO-based data acquisition system, which utilizes an ADC to convert analog control data into a digital format, displaying it on an LCD screen. The project employs embedded networking via CAN as the communication module, enabling efficient data transfer. Additionally, the system gathers feedback on various vehicle conditions such as vehicle speed and engine temperature, which are then controlled by the main controller.
