Implementation of CAN bus in an autonomous all-terrain vehicle

The main purpose of this effort is to design an autonomous all terrain vehicle which uses a CAN bus. The paper describes the operation and advantages of the CAN protocol in automobiles. The ATV used for this design is a Honda Four Trax Rancher AT and a brief explanation of the parts in the ATV is provided. The Renesas RX62N microcontroller is used as a CAN controller which creates a single two wire bus through which electronic control units (ECU) in the automobiles communicate. The working of the CAN protocol on the RX62N has been explained with the help of pseudo code.
