Purpose: Accurate monitoring of information from various agricultural vehicles is one of the most important factors for appropriate management strategy of field operations. While there has been a number of study and design on applications of sensors and actuators for data acquisition and control system in tractor, incompatibility between various customized hardware and software has become a major obstacle to the universal deployment in real field operation. International standard for implementation of electronic control unit (ECU) in agricultural vehicles has becoming a mandatory requirement for inter-operation compatibility in the international trade of agricultural vehicle industries. The ISO 11783 standard is basically based upon well known communication technology designated using the controller area network (CAN) bus. While CAN bus could provide 1.0 Mbps of communication speed, the standard only recommended 250 kbps. Methods: This study presents the implementation and evaluation of ISO 11783 for tractor electronic control units (TECU)with a higher transmission rate from multiple ECU than 250 kbps. Throughput and loss rate of the developed prototype were calculated across manipulated bus load for laboratory experimental tests, and the maximum requirement of transmission rate by ISO 11873 was satisfied with lower than 60% of bus load. Results: Field tests with a TECU implemented to process messages from global positioning system (GPS) receiver resulted that the root mean square error of position information was lower than 4 m with 0.5 m/s as a travelling speed. Conclusions: Results of this study represent the utilization of the international standard ISO 11783 to providepractical developments in terms with the inter-operability of TECU.

This paper describes the development of a data bus analyzer for use in avionics systems integration test. The data bus analyzer is equipped with MIL-STD-1553B, CAN and Ethernet interface cards which is incorporated in a majority of the avionics systems to accommodate a variety of interfaces. It has an individual hardware for a capture engine and a analyzing engine in order to perform the collection and the analysis of the bus data at the same time efficiently. It provides a data display function of the grid, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional form to increase the data analysis efficiency. Verification of the data bus analyzer was carried out module unit testing and inter-module integration testing on the basis of the test procedures. Verification of interlocking requirement and usefulness of developed equipment was confirmed through an integration test result performed on a system integration laboratory of aircraft which is an actual testing environment.

We designed and implemented the attachable smart adapter for the general management of each company's agricultural machine regardless of whether it is equipped with a CAN (Controller Area Network) module. The smart adapter consists of a main board (Raspberry Pi3B), which operates agricultural machine's management software in Linux environment, and a self-developed interface board for power adjustment and status sensing. For the status monitoring, a sensing interface using a serial input was defined between the smart adapter and the sensors of the agricultural machine, and the state diagram of the agricultural machine was defined for diagnosis. We made a panel to simulate the sensors of the agricultural machine using the switch's on/off contact point, and confirmed the status monitoring and diagnostic functions by inputting each state of the farm machinery from the simulator panel.

VCU(Vehicle Control Unit) was developed to decrease the wire weight and make it easy to control the power of ECU in bimodal tram. VCU consists of CC(Central Computer), DU(Display Unit), TU(Terminal Unit) with PCB. CC is a main controller with progamming and DU displays the status with graphic symbols and letters. TU with PCB inputs and output the voltage controlled by CC. They communicate with CAN(Controller Area Network). VCU had been verified with software reliability verification test and environmental hardware test. This paper has shown the test results and application to bimodal tram.

This paper presents the fault detection and diagnosis(FDD) algorithm to enhance reliability of a longitudinal controller for an autonomous All-Terrain Vehicle(ATV). The FDD is designed to monitor and identify faults which may occur in distributed hardware used for longitudinal control, e.g., DSPs, CAN, sensors, and actuators. The proposed FDD is an integrated approach of decentralized and centralized FDD. While the former is processed in a DSP and suitable to detect faults in a single hardware, it is sensitive to noise and disturbance. On the other hand, the latter is performed via communication and it detects and diagnoses faults through analyzing concurrent performances of multiple hardware modules, but it is limited to isolate faults specifically in terms of components in the single hardware. To compensate for disadvantages of each FDD approach, two layered structure including both decentralized and centralized FDD is proposed and it allows us to make more robust fault detection and more specific fault isolation. The effectiveness of the proposed method will be validated experimentally.

This paper represents an investigation of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance control system using Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation(HiLS). Control logic is primarily developed and tested with a specially equipped test vehicle. Establishment of an efficient and low cost development tool is a very important issue, and test vehicle approach is costly and time consuming. HiLS method is useful in the investigation of driver assistance and active safety systems. The HiLS system consists of a stepper motor for throttle control, a hydraulic brake system with an electronic vacuum booster, an electronic controller unit, a data logging computer which are used to save vehicle states and signals of actuator through a CAN and a simulation computer using mathematical vehicle model. Adaptation of a CAN instead of RS-232 Serial Interface for communication is a trend in the automotive industry. Since this environment is the same as a test vehicle, a control logic verified in laboratory can be easily transferred to a test vehicle.

오늘날 기술의 발전으로 차량 시스템에 대한 고객의 요구가 다양해져 차량내의 시스템이 복잡해지고 있다. 이에 따라, 배선양을 줄이기 위해 Controller Area Network(CAN)이 개발되었다. 그러나 CAN 을 사용한 시스템이 제대로 동작하는지 또는 안전한지에 대한 안전성 문제가 중요시되면서 시스템을 실제로 어떠한 CAN 네트워크에 연결할 경우 그 시스템이 제대로 동작하는지는 자체 테스트와 효과적인 테스트가 필요하다. 본 논문은 CAN 네트웍 통신상태를 자동 테스트 할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 알고리즘을 소개하며 또한 fault packet을 생성하여 CAN 네트웍을 테스트하였다.

LED-based lighting motivated by significant energy savings provides an opportunistic development of widespread free-space optical communications. Their transceivers have a variety of competitive advantages over RF including high bandwidth density, reliability, lower energy consumption, and long lifetime. But, it is difficult for existing buildings and structures such as ships and vehicles to install the communication cable to the ceiling. In this paper, controller area network (CAN)-based LED lighting communication systems were proposed. Results indicate the viability of developing inexpensive CAN interface modules and transceivers might be embedded in lighting products to support the indoor wireless networking.

In this paper, We are inclined to design automated mushroom-cultivation system technology grafting communication technology as CAN(Control Area Network). Mushroom cultivation automated system have a goal to construct stable crop cultivation system ,as we construct embedded-system that can make into one to advance current system. Its sensor part is composed of temperature , humidity and CO2 concentration sensor and of chilling, heating and unit humidity-controlling unit, ventilation fan. In particular, having saved analized temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration data in each sensor, CAN which can control realtime communication is used to analyze the next mushroom-cultivation.
