Vehicle control system implementation Using CAN protocol

Present Automobiles are being developed by more of electrical parts for efficient operation. Generally a vehicle was built with an analog driver-vehicle interface for indicating various vehicle status like speed, fuel level, Engine temperature etc., This paper presents the development and implementation of a digital driving system for a semi-autonomous vehicle to improve the driver-vehicle interface. It uses an ARM based data acquisition system that uses ADC to bring all control data from analog to digital format and visualize through LCD. The communication module used in this project is embedded networking by CAN which has efficient data transfer. It also takes feedback of vehicle conditions like Vehicle speed, Engine temperature etc., and controlled by main controller. Additionally this unit equipped with GSM which communicates to the owner during emergency situations.
