When the first versions of SAE J1939 emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the objective was straightforward: provide a standardized communication protocol for electronic control units (ECUs) in heavy-duty trucks. At the time, vehicle manufacturers were rapidly increasing the number of electronic subsystems, creating a need for a…

Introduction SAE J1939 is the dominant in-vehicle network protocol for medium and heavy-duty vehicles, traditionally running on Classical CAN at 250 kbps (or 500 kbps) with 8-byte frames. As modern trucks and buses integrate more electronics – from advanced engine controls to ADAS sensors – the bandwidth limitations of classical…
The SAE J1939-22 standard addresses the issue of limited bandwidth for future data-demanding applications when using Classical CAN as the hardware layer. The proposed solution is CAN FD, which enables larger data frames and higher transmission speeds. However, the originally envisioned backward compatibility has not been achieved. The Bandwidth Issue…
