Advanced Safety system for Vehicles using Controller Area Network

Electronics and Communication Engineering

Today the CAN bus has been used for automotive applications as a method to enable robust serial communication. The goal of the project is to create a system more reliable, safe and efficient for automobile vehicles while decreasing complexity and wiring harness. Generally most of the time people don’t know the environmental conditions or Engine unit parameters which may cause problems or sometimes accident. Therefore in this paper we give the detail systematic architecture to provide safety and avoid accident to the automobile vehicles. In this we create a system to connect a group of sensors to a pair of microcontrollers acting as slaves which in turn send the collected data to a master microcontroller through CAN bus technology for safety of people. Our system uses multiple transmitter nodes to acquire data from sensors and transmit the data in packets over a CAN bus. In addition to this, the data acquired is transmitted to server PC through GSM Module. The current location of system is recorded by GPS Module and can be sent to remote PC on request. Our system is designed to be implemented in vehicles where sensors are used to acquire different parameters of vehicles and send it to owner of vehicle at remote position.
