CAN-based passenger car starter information integrated control method and its implementation

CAN (controller area network) applied in passenger car provides information sharing platform for ECUs (electronic control units). It is essential to implement passenger car information integrated control for enhancing safety, comfort, and added-value of passenger car. As a typical mechanical and electric device relating to efficiency and safety of passenger car start process, passenger car starter is easy to be damaged because of improper operation and therefore decrease its using life. In this paper, CAN-based passenger car starter information integrated control method and system implementation are studied. According to traditional passenger car starter control method and disadvantages, the current improved methods of starter control are reviewed. Based on the requirement analysis of passenger car starter control, passenger car starter information integrated control rules are presented. Applying in-vehicle network technology, automotive electronic technology and modularization design method, CAN-based passenger car starter information integrated control system is designed and equipped in WG6100ENH model natural gas city bus.
