“…The role of LiFi in safe communication in an intelligent transportation system [3,27,28] is discussed briefly in [29] and [30]. A vehicle-vehicle communication using LiFi is discussed in [31]. The treatment, however, of those papers in intelligent transportation system is, to us, shallow.…”

Given the recent advances in information technology, speed has become an important requirement in data transmission. In this regard and given that an LED (light emitting diode) can turn on and off for several thousands, even millions, of times per second, then LiFi (light fidelity) technology has strong advantages over WiFi (wireless fidelity) in terms of speed in data transmission. In this research project, a consortium of industrial and academic partners have decided to evaluate the maturity of LiFi technology by designing a demonstrator that showcases an efficient and speedy intra-vehicle data transmission system. The demonstrator implements a two-way LiFi communication between the reading light of a vehicle and a portable device, such as a tablet or smartphone. This nomadic device must display, via an interface, receiving transmitted data in real time. The data is of type RNT (Digital Terrestrial Radio) and TNT (Digital Terrestrial Television) provided by an in-house antenna. LiFi depends on optical technology hence, the devices' optical characteristics have significant influences on the system. This paper presents various conducted experiments and techniques to improve the system's throughput, communication range, and reception area. For instance, by replacing the reading light with one of better optical characteristics, the communication range and reception area improve. By using symmetrical power supply, the throughput improves. Also, by using optical filters that eliminate noise, throughput also improves. We have indeed demonstrated that LiFi data transmission in the vehicle is feasible; low-definition videos were successfully transmitted. The paper also presents various techniques to still improve its system performance.

Various intelligent transportation systems are proposed in different forms of wireless communication technologies. Recently, the importance of visible light communication and free-space optics has been demonstrated in accomplishing vehicle-to-vehicle and infrastructure-to-vehicle communication systems, due to power efficiency, free licenses, and safety for human health. In this paper, a new hybrid relay system supported by free-space optics/visible light communication with two scenarios is proposed. The first one is that the data are transferred from the source to the relay through a free-space optics communication link and are then directed to the destination through a visible light communication link. The second scenario is that the data are transmitted from the source to the destination passing through two different relays to ensure larger coverage. A 10 −6 bit error rate is achieved at a distance of 900 m for the first scenario with a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio of ~25.5 dB, while the largest distance that can be covered by the second scenario is 1200 m with a signalto-noise ratio of ~30 dB.
