A Real Time Embedded System for Monitoring Of Cargo Vehicles by Using Controller Area Network

Abstract

This paper presents the creation of a CAN network for monitoring parameters route of cargo vehicles. By decree of law, all cargo vehicles must contain tachograph device that collects and records all information practiced during the trip, such as speed, distance, RPM (rotations per minute), among other parameters. The data provided by the tachograph are sent to the CAN network, collected and interpreted by the microcontroller and sent to the monitoring station by serial communication by the receiver. Thus, the central monitoring company will quickly follow the route of its drivers, and the characteristics of travel practiced by them.
