Abstract
The main design and aspects of Controller Area Network (CAN) based accident avoidance system is to avoid the accidents by using CAN protocol. This project defines a design of effective accident avoidance system that detects an automotive vehicle condition while travelling, with the help of ultrasonic sensors and this signal can be used to control the Engine Control Unit (ECU). Present Automobiles are being developed by more of electrical parts for efficient operation. The communication section used in this project is embedded networking by CAN which has efficient data transfer. It also takes feedback of vehicle disorders like Vehicle speed, Engine temperature etc., and controlled by main controller. Additionally this unit furnished with GSM which communicates to the owner during emergency situations.
