Linux based GUI design and vehicle control system with CAN bus communication unit for hybrid vehicles

In today's cars, electronic technology has advanced and gained so much importance that; Almost 70% of in-vehicle systems are electronic equipment. However, it is observed that the consoles of modern cars have an advanced design that looks like airplane cockpits. The use of dozens of sensors in automobiles not only ensures driver and passenger safety, but also increases comfort. With the information received from the sensors, the cars show malfunctions and errors to the driver for information purposes. Today's modern vehicles, which have more than 70 electronic control units (ECU), make tens of thousands of decisions within a few milliseconds, which the users do not even realize, with the information they receive from tens of sensors. Hundreds of meters of wiring harnesses used to transmit the information obtained from the sensors to the ECU creates confusion. In our age where technology is advancing quite rapidly, communication and network transmission with software reduce this complexity. In this thesis, it is aimed to inform the driver and operate the information received from the sensors via the CAN Bus communication unit, with the in-vehicle network created for electric and hybrid vehicles, whose technological development is rapidly advancing, thanks to the designed instrument panel. CAN Bus was used as the communication unit, Qt-Qml was used for the screen design, C-Python was used for the sensors and communication software and Linux system was used as the operating system.
