Implementación de una red can bus para el control del sistema de iluminación de un vehículo categoría N1

Abstract

Society thinks that the automotive area focuses on the study of the mechanical components of a car, without recognizing its error, an essential part is the electrical and electronic system, responsible for controlling the lighting systems through electronic and electromechanical actuators. The degree project focuses on the implementation and programming of a CAN BUS network in the N1 vehicle, addressing the need to improve efficiency and flexibility in the design of vehicle lighting systems, taking advantage of the distributed communication capabilities of the CAN. BUS. The implementation of a Controller Area Network (CAN BUS) to manage the lighting system of a category N1 vehicle represents a significant advance in the efficient and centralized management of lighting components. The CAN BUS network provides a robust and reliable platform for data transmission between the various vehicle lighting devices, including headlights, taillights, turn signals and other associated elements. This network approach enables bidirectional communication between nodes, facilitating the implementation of advanced features such as automatic intensity adjustments, adaptive response to environmental conditions, and efficient integration of new lighting features. In addition, a diagnostic system is incorporated that takes advantage of the self-test capabilities of the CAN BUS. This allows possible failures in lighting components to be detected, facilitating preventive maintenance and contributing to the reliability of the system. The project addresses practical considerations, such as energy efficiency and consumption reduction, optimizing lighting performance without compromising safety. An analysis is carried out of the economic and environmental benefits associated with the implementation of this CAN BUS network for the control of lighting in category N1 vehicles.
