We construct a pedestrian support system using visible-light communication with self-illuminated bollards. The system is designed for the requirements of people with weak eyesight and the elderly to notify them of danger and obstacles such as steps and signals. The luminescent color that the color temperature of 2000 K, that is orange, is suitable for communication. And we demonstrate prototype models of visible-light communication with 4PPM modulation format. Moreover, we carry out evaluation experiments with visually impaired people to determine the best distance for danger notification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
