 Abstract
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication technology used
especially for reliable data exchange between electronic control units (ECUs) in the
automobile.

Data exchange between the electronic control units was initially implemented
conventionally, i.e. a physical communication channel was allocated to every signal
to be transmitted.

However, intensive wiring effort enabled just limited data exchange. The only
solution that seemed to offer a way out of this dilemma came from serial bit
exchange of data via a single communication channel (bus). This led to the need to
conceptualize a serial communication system tailored to the requirements of the
automobile.

In this project, we will learn about the MCP2515 CAN Controller Module, how to
interface the MCP2515 CAN Bus Controller with Arduino and finally how to enable
communication between two Arduino board with the help of two MCP2515 CAN
Controllers and the CAN Protocol.

Based on requirements of modern vehicle, in- vehicle Controller Area Network

(CAN) architecture has been implemented. In order to reduce point to point wiring
harness in vehicle automation, CAN is suggested as a means for data communication
within the vehicle environment. The benefits of CAN bus based network over
traditional point to point schemes will offer increased flexibility and expandability
for future technology insertions. 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 ARDUINO 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.
