  Abstract

Today, controller area network (CAN) is a field bus that is nowadays widespread in distributed embedded systems due to its electrical robustness, low price, and deterministic access delay. However, its use safety-critical applications has been controversial due to dependability limitation, such as those arising from its bus topology. Thus it is important to analyze the performance of the network in terms of load of data bus, maximum time delay, communication contention, and others during the design phase of the controller area network. In this paper, a simulation algorithm is introduced to evaluate the communication performance of the vehicle network and apply software base fault injection techniques. This can not only reduce any erratic implementation of the vehicle network but it also improves the reliability of the system.
