Telemetry System Architecture for a Solar Car

Abstract

This paper discusses the telemetry system used to monitor the performance of a Solar-Powered vehicle during testing and competitions. Car-Side systems collect and transmit data onboard over an ISO 11898/CAN bus. A bridge then converts this data into TCP/IP packets, which are transmitted via Ethernet to a Wi-Fi access point. The data is distributed through an IEEE 802.11N 5GHz mesh network to provide real time data to remote computers running telemetry software. This software displays and logs data from the car, allowing team members to monitor the vehicle.
