With the development of light emitting diodes (LEDs), the communication in visible light spectrum, visible light communication (VLC), becomes an alternative to the existing wireless technologies. Integration of VLC systems with intelligent transportation systems (ITS) can significantly improve many aspects of transportation and traffic. The use of unlicensed bandwidth and wider implementation of VLC LED lighting, both in infrastructure and in vehicles, provide an energy-efficient data transmission with sufficiently large data rates at low cost. The application of VLC systems is still at an early stage of the development. However, due to numerous advantages, the wider adoption of VLC systems is expected in near future. This chapter presents an analysis of the possibilities of VLC application in ITS scenarios. Main characteristics of VLC in ITS in terms of architecture, modulation and standardization are addressed. Some challenges and open issues are also emphasized.


Communication based on visible spectrum is a mode of communication wireless technology using the visible spectra by typical transmitters and receivers.Thistechnology, in developing Intelligent Transportation is a cost-reuction method. Currently Radio Frequency(RF)-based technology is used for road safety application and ripping out this method entirely by replacing it with VLC is not particularly feasible, so that the idea is retrofiting system that currently uses to work with combining both RF and VLC technologies. Here paper presents the specific technologies of wireless methodology for the Intelligent Transportation, which helps to minimize the occurrence of road accidents, optimize the road traffic and improve the safe of devices and roadside users. Application based on communication of vehicles, and vehicle to infrastructure has emerged the best solutions to improve traffic safety.It is on, visible light communication withbig potential ofsimple design for functional efficiency and large area distribution along with usage of Wi-Fi. The intention of this survey on a wide field, Intelligent Transportation Systems functioning with Wi-Fi and Li-Fi is discussed with its real time uses, technologies in communications
