Study and Prototype Implementation of Basic Non-CAN and CAN Based Communication in Context with Automotive Application(s)

Controller Area Networks (CAN) are frequently utilized in vehicles to provide communication between Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and sensors. The use of CAN implementations enables message-based communication among different sections of vehicles. This results in the reduction of complex and dedicated wiring for communication. The CAN have five significant benefits such as low-cost application because multiple nodes communicate via a single bus, the centralized system reduces the probabilities of error, CAN bus provides robustness, reliability, and flexibility with task priority management, and CAN bus provides robustness, reliability, and flexibility with task priority management. This paper focuses on the study of Non-CAN based system which was used earlier inside the automotive applications. Also, the study of open-source hardware like Arduino along with CAN Controllers like MCP 2515. In later part of the paper described laboratory experimentation of Non-CAN-based communication, CAN-based communication by using ARM as well as Arduino. The prototype is successfully implemented and verified the outputs with the help of a serial monitor. The visual output is observed and reported on LCD and LEDs.
