Proposal of Car-to-Car Message Delivery over Optical Wireless Communication Link

Abstract

The various communication technologies draw much attention for intelligent transport system (ITS). Especially, the ad hoc network between cars is one of main research topics for ITS and those networks are under standardization for establishing ad hoc communication network, for example, wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE). Also, optical wireless communication draw much attention for indoor communication system. In this paper, we propose a concept of a car-to-car message delivery system. The proposed system is based on optical wireless communication link employing illumination light-emitting diode (LED) brake lamps.
