Visible Light Communication (VLC) has emerged as an attractive alternative to radio frequency (RF) communication, due to abundant, license free bandwidth and cost-effectiveness. The visible light spectrum is 1000 times larger than the entire radio frequency spectrum of 300 GHz, and largely unexplored. Therefore, there is a widespread motivation to use visible light as a high bandwidth alternative to radio. It has also proved its viability in automotive applications, as an alternative and/or a complement to the traditional RF-based communications. In this book, the authors investigate the suitability of VLC in for vehicular communications considering several fundamental wireless communication aspects covering both Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) paths, before discussing its applicability in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in terms of safety enhancement and of the ITS. This is an invaluable reference guide for any researchers, graduate students or industry professionals who work in visible light communication field.

This book is directed at students, scientists and engineers that want to quickly and easily find their way into the applications of optical methods/techniques in metrology. All of them will find well supported physical arguments to make the book a selfcontained consulting book.
