This page contains recommendations we offer for literature focused on Controller Area Network (CAN) and the SAE J1939 protocol. The selected books and references cover a broad range of topics, from fundamental CAN concepts and message framing to higher-layer communication, network management, and diagnostics as used in heavy-duty vehicles and industrial systems. The goal is to point readers to reliable and well-structured resources that explain these technologies in a clear and practical manner.
The recommended literature is intended for engineers, developers, students, and technically interested readers who want to deepen their understanding of CAN and SAE J1939, whether they are just getting started or looking to refine existing knowledge. These resources emphasize technical accuracy and real-world relevance, helping readers better understand how CAN-based systems and J1939 networks are designed, implemented, and analyzed in professional applications.
