CAN based Collision Avoidance and Battery Management System for Automotives

Vehicles are the basic need for human transportation but nowadays accidents are the major risk factors. Enhancing safety and preventing accidents play a major role in designing a safer and more efficient transportation system. Henceforth, the networking of vehicle protocols has become a necessity to overcome the problems related to reliability, body wiring, complexity, and space constraints. Since comfort, dynamics, and economy are taken into account as the criteria by which the proposed system differs from the conventional vehicle system, the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol can be used as a device format for communicating microcontrollers with other devices in the automotive electronics industry. Hence the proposed research study makes an effort to transmit several variables at the same rate. Also, an attempt has been made to control the speed of the vehicle depending on the values provided by ultrasonic sensor. Subsequently, the purpose of this research study is to develop collision warning in emerging automobiles that assist drivers in avoiding rear-end collisions with the CAN protocol. Also, the objective of this research work is to work on the Battery Management System (BMS) which is another major concerning factor found in most of the vehicles responsible for thermal runaway, electrical, fire, leakage, and toxicity hazards. So, this research work focuses on fulfilling the purpose of monitoring the battery packs using CAN module.
