Implementing Controller Area Network : Hybrid Drivetrain ECU

Abstract

This document will discuss the implementation of Controller Area Network (CAN) communication protocol as a substitute for general analog and Digital (I/O) signals as a primary means to control an automotive hybrid drive-train as to withstand high electrical signal interference produced and associated with electric vehicle propulsion elements.

This work was performed within the scope of a project to develop an All-Terrain Vehicle electronic control system.
