Vehicle condition, driver behavior analysis and data logging through CAN sniffing

Abstract EN

modern vehicles nowadays have many Electronic Control Units (ECU) and sensors.

Information (data) within an automobile is transferred via the Control Area Network (CAN) of a vehicle.

This data may not be important to the driver, but if the CAN messages are analyzed, then driver behavior and vehicle conditions can be determined.

This data can determine ahead of time any possible future failure and the driver can be alerted about it.

This paper presents standalone real time embedded system that could analyze the CAN data were valuable lives may be saved in real time.

The proposed hardware system acquires CAN data from a vehicle (CAN sniffing).

The data is then processed and an appropriate message is then displayed for the driver.

The proposed system also stores the CAN messages on to an industrial grade SD card (CAN logging) for future analysis.

The proposed system can also perform driver behavior and driving terrain analysis.
