“…In this section, based on our simulations and discussions given in [32], [33], a comparison between ViLDAR and RADAR gun is provided in Table II. As shown in Table II, ViLDAR gives more flexibility in terms of the angle of incidence and beam-width with same high accuracy percentage. In terms of size, ViLDAR is expected to be much smaller as it only needs a PD, which can be very small in size similar to the PDs used in [5] and [34].…”

The introduction of light emitting diodes (LED) in automotive exterior lighting systems provides opportunities to develop viable alternatives to conventional communication and sensing technologies. Most of the advanced driver-assist and autonomous vehicle technologies are based on Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) or Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems that use radio frequency or laser signals, respectively. While reliable and real-time information on vehicle speeds is critical for traffic operations management and autonomous vehicles safety, RADAR or LiDAR systems have some deficiencies especially in curved road scenarios where the incidence angle is rapidly varying. In this paper, we propose a novel speed estimation system so-called the Visible Light Detection and Ranging (ViLDAR) that builds upon sensing visible light variation of the vehicle's headlamp. We determine the accuracy of the proposed speed estimator in straight and curved road scenarios. We further present how the algorithm design parameters and the channel noise level affect the speed estimation accuracy. For wide incidence angles, the simulation results show that the ViLDAR outperforms RADAR/LiDAR systems in both straight and curved road scenarios.A provisional patent (US#62/541,913) has been obtained for this work.

“…To improve road safety, one way is to make the vehicles autonomous in which every vehicle on road communicates with other nearby vehicles and with the infrastructures such as traffic lights and signboards, respectively. These communication systems named vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communications systems . The vehicular communication offers several applications such as violation of a traffic signal, collision warning, emergency brakes light, lane changing, and curve speed warning .…”

Summary With the development of new generation lighting sources, visible light communication (VLC) system has become a complementary solution to traditional radio frequency wireless system. However, the error performance of VLC system is degraded because of multipath effects and interference from other lighting sources that, in turn, reduce the communication range. This work targets the issue of performance degradation of VLC systems in terms of communication range and demonstrates a VLC system design that utilizes forward error correction (FEC) codes as the main tool to fix this issue. Furthermore, the work also covers practical implementation of the proposed VLC system using UART modules programmed in MATLAB. The hardware results demonstrate that the communication range of the proposed VLC system is enhanced up to 0.5 m. Over and above, it is also shown through simulations that the coding gain of the proposed design is more when compared with existing VLC system(s).

“…Apart from this, other advantages of VLC for ITS over RF‐based solutions are improved positioning and less packet collision (as VLC is line of sight (LOS), thus limiting the participating nodes to neighborhood vehicles only and far‐distance vehicles will not be contending nodes) and inherit short distance communication, which reduces the chances of intruder interception. Furthermore, VLC receivers (photodiodes) have improved reception (faster switching capability) than human eye in likely and harsh weather conditions …”

“…Furthermore, VLC receivers (photodiodes) have improved reception (faster switching capability) than human eye in likely and harsh weather conditions. 25 In the last decade, research in the domain of VLC-based ITS has gained good momentum, and many theoretical as well as experimental works have been done in the said field. Some experimental works have been conducted to check the feasibility of outdoor VLC for ITS.…”

Demand for bandwidth hungry applications and mobile services is pushing an unquenchable need for wireless capacity. Existing radio frequency networks are characterized by shared medium, inadequate spectrum, and restricted user capacity. Solid state lighting is modernizing indoor as well as outdoor illumination. The capability of quick switching of light emitting diode makes them superior to other lighting sources enabling simultaneous use as a communication and illumination device. Visible light communication (VLC) using light emitting diodes is an attractive approach for many networking scenarios and is considered as a complementary technology for future heterogeneous wireless networks. This article presents an architectural perspective on the applications and data rate improvement strategies. A wide range of VLC applications have been investigated, comparison has been drawn with radio frequency, and generalized network architecture is also proposed. Numerous applications of VLC are data rate intensive, so data rate improvement approaches have also been studied. At the end, a lucid conclusion is drawn about the applicability, acceptability, and utilization of VLC and co‐VLC–based systems.
