Outdoor Visible Light Communication for inter- vehicle communication using Controller Area Network

In this paper, we implemented the outdoor Visible Light Communication (VLC) system based on Controller Area Network (CAN) which is normally used in a car, plane, ship, product line control system, medical device and industrial device. For vehicle to vehicle (V2V) or indoor vehicle communication, we...

Description
Summary:	In this paper, we implemented the outdoor Visible Light Communication (VLC) system based on Controller Area Network (CAN) which is normally used in a car, plane, ship, product line control system, medical device and industrial device. For vehicle to vehicle (V2V) or indoor vehicle communication, we used common use device such as head light and back light. We made an application circuit and explained the principle. Also, we found an outdoor VLC problem which is sun light noise and photo detector (PD) saturation problem. Circuit's pulse features were demonstrated by signal. Total communication distance was 20 m in the daytime outdoor condition and its experimental transmission performance is presented.
