Abstract (EN): The Controller Area Network has a maximum transmission rate of 1 Mbit/s and its fixed priorities-based medium access control limits the maximum bus utilisation when timeliness guarantees are required. An implementation of earliest deadline first (EDF) message scheduling on CAN, based on the FTT-CAN protocol, is presented, which allows higher utilisation factors with timeliness guarantees. The advantages of using EDF instead of rate-monotonic scheduling on FTT-CAN are highlighted, and a comparison with other implementations of EDF scheduling on CAN is presented.
