Communication (VLC) for vehicle safety applications, creating a smart vehicle lighting system that combines the functions of illumination and signaling, communications, and positioning. The feasibility of VLC is demonstrated by employing trichromatic Red-Green-Blue (RGB) LEDs as transmitters, since they offer the possibility of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), which can greatly increase the transmission data rate, when using SiC double pin receivers to encode/decode the information. Each chip, individually, is used to transmit the driving range distance and data information. An on-off code is used to transmit the data. Free space is the transmission medium. The receivers consist of two stacked amorphous aH: SiC cells. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) architecture is used. For data transmission, two headlights based on commercially available modulated white RGB-LEDs are used. For data receiving and decoding, three a-SiC: H double pin/pin optical processors symmetrically distributed at the vehicle tail are utilized. The process of accurately encoding and decoding positioning and the design of SiC navigation system are discussed and tested. A visible multilateration method estimates the drive distance range.
