Research of Application Layer Protocol in Electric Vehicle Based on CAN Bus

The CAN technical specifications and OSI reference model were introduced, and an application layer protocol of CAN network was established for electric vehicle considering five aspects including determination of communication contents, identifier assignment, message encoding, message scheduling strategies and data format define. Practical application result showed that CAN bus communication system adopting the protocol has high reliability and the communication load rate is less than 30%, which ensures timely detection and treatment of emergency messages.
