Design and analysis of the basic parameters for traffic information transmission using VLC

This paper discusses system design considerations concerning the use of visible light communication (VLC) concepts in road traffic control systems. A simple traffic set-up model has been analyzed in order to optimize various important design parameters. This optimization is based on the gain variation over 100m transmission range. This approach will help to specify the needed gain for the receiver in the complete set-up in order to further increase the coverage area. It will also allow important simplifications at the front-end design level.
