Visible light and radio communication for cooperative driving

This work contributes to the autonomous vehicular communication and urban mobility improvements. The presented work summarises the author PhD research toward developing, evaluating, and integrating a visible light communication (VLC) system within the existing Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems C-ITS architecture, together with suf cient hand-over algorithms enabling both VLC, Radio communication, and perception-based solutions. The work addresses the main radio-based Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication limitations and challenges for C- ITS, where the core discussion tackles the hard-safety applications and intends to deploy the vehicular lighting system as a supportive communication solution for platooning of IVC-enabled autonomous vehicles. The feasibility and ef ciency of the presented VLC-RF system implementation and handover algorithms were subjects to profound investigations over six self-contained chapters, meant to facilitate a logical progression of materials and to enable a relatively easy access.
