A Real-Time Approach to Autonomous CAN Bus Reverse Engineering
arXiv:2602.16722v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces a real-time method for reverse engineering a vehicle’s CAN bus without prior knowledge of the vehicle or its CAN system. By comparing inertial measurement and CAN data during significant vehicle events, the method accurately identified the CAN channels associated with the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, and steering wheel. Utilizing an IMU, CAN module, and event-driven software architecture, the system was validated using prerecorded serialized data from previous studies. This data, […]
