Abstract—In this project we are going to design an embedded system for automotive in which the speed of the automotive is controlled automatically using microcontroller and CAN bus. This system is designed especially for preventing accidents in Hill stations due to over speed and improper front lighting of automotive. At present, automotives does not have proper braking mechanism which results in huge human loss in accidents. Due non-reliable braking of the automotive, the movement of automotive in hill stations especially in hair pin bend the automotive will lose its control due to over speed and also improper braking mechanism. This actually results in large number of automotive accidents in hill stations across Tamil Nadu and in India, which results in huge loss of lives. The automotive manufacturing companies often call its units back due to fault design mechanism which they realize only when their customers loss their lives. In this project we are going to design an embedded system for automotive system to control the braking mechanism and also control the front light with the steering in the automotive and the data communication from the steering to the motors in the vehicle is done through CAN bus. The front light mechanism is done through the steering angle movement that is when steering is done towards left side of the road the front light of the automotive shifts its direction towards left side. Lighting system is controlled with LDR sensor, the LDR operates in night time only because of its own property.
