A REVIEW ON CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK AND ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT IN AUTOMOTIVE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Security issues are the major part in the Connected Autonomous Vehicles. They are way more intelligent than the cars that runs in the market. Connected Autonomous Vehicles use a technology to steer, accelerate and brake with no human involvement where as people aren’t aware or may not know that a car can be attacked. In such cases people might face major issues while driving such as delayed braking or braking failure or ABS failure, failure of the Traction Control System, engine failure or engine may not start. The Electronic Control Unit is a part of all cars and also known as the brain of vehicles. Also, Electronic Control Unit is a communication device which performs operations om the vehicles. Controller Area Network is a bus network which enables each Electronic Control Unit to communicate with all the other Electronic Control Unit without any complex wiring. By connecting these devices to the vehicles, we can find out the vulnerabilities and attacks in the system. I'll be detecting and preventing numerous threats in the Controller Area Network bus network in my research project.
