Vehicle Network Systems

The bus is where every other system's data actually lives. We design, integrate, and troubleshoot the networks that carry it — from a single sensor link to a multi-bus vehicle with gateways bridging half a dozen different protocols, on projects of any scale.

  • Network architecture design and review
  • DBC creation and signal decoding
  • Bus load analysis and error diagnosis
  • Gateway and inter-bus bridging
  • ECU communication validation against spec
  • Vehicle network reverse engineering — extracting real signal values and meaning from an undocumented network

Networks we work with

CAN 2.0 CAN FD LIN FlexRay SENT SPI I2C J1939 UDS / ISO 14229 ISO-TP / ISO 15765-2 Automotive Ethernet OBD-II / J1979

Typical work

  • ECU signal interfacing and validation
  • Wiring harness diagnostics and fault-finding
  • Sensor and actuator commissioning
  • Hardware-in-the-loop test rig setup

Automotive Electronics

From the sensor to the connector to the ECU pin — we work at the electrical level as much as the protocol level, interfacing with and validating the electronics already on a vehicle or test rig rather than designing new hardware from scratch.

03

Data Logging & Analysis

Capturing the data is the easy part. The value is in synchronising it across sources — network traffic, video, analog sensors — and turning it into an answer to a specific engineering question, not just a chart.

  • Multi-channel capture system design
  • Post-session analysis and reporting
  • Export into existing toolchains (MoTeC, MATLAB, MDF)
  • Custom dashboards for a specific test or programme
  • Remote analysis — send us your captured files for vehicle diagnosis, no site visit required

The same platform we sell

This is the same discipline behind ONAC Network Studio, our capture and analysis platform for aftermarket and OEM use — see the projects page for what it can do.

Remote NVH analysis too

Already have vibration or acoustic recordings from your own measurement? Our remote analysis service covers NVH data just as it does vehicle data — send us the files and we'll diagnose from there.

04

NVH — Noise, Vibration & Harshness

A standalone engineering discipline in its own right — measurement, analysis, and root-cause diagnosis of noise and vibration issues, with its own instrumentation and methods.

  • NVH measurement and root-cause analysis
  • Order analysis and vibration diagnostics
  • Acoustic and structure-borne noise investigation
  • Remote analysis of existing NVH recordings
05

Vehicle Dynamics Consulting

Handling, ride, and chassis behaviour — assessed against real logged data from the vehicle, not just simulation or a spec sheet.

  • Handling and ride behaviour assessment
  • Chassis and suspension setup support
  • Correlating logged vehicle data against dynamics targets

Works alongside data logging

Vehicle dynamics work leans heavily on the same capture and analysis platform as our data logging & analysis service — the two are usually engaged together.

06

Software Development

ONAC Network Studio isn't just a product we sell — it's proof of what this side of the business builds. If you need something in that same space built specifically for your vehicle platform, workflow, or hardware, that's a service we offer directly.

  • Desktop applications for data logging, decoding, and diagnostics
  • Embedded firmware for custom logging/sensing hardware
  • Cloud backends for fleet or team data sync
  • Integration work against an existing internal toolchain

Want something like ONAC Network Studio, built for you?

That's a bespoke software development engagement, not a project license.

Not sure which of these fits your project?

Whether it's a big programme or a small, specific task, most engagements touch more than one of these areas — tell us what you're working on and we'll help scope it.
