A New Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Technology Based on Binary Light Code
The proliferation of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) has necessitated the development of efficient, reliable communication methods between vehicles and their surroundings. This study presents a novel methodology, the VECTOR system, that addresses this need by converting dynamic vehicle data into a binary code and displaying it on an LED panel. The system involves a three-step process of data collection, polynomial fitting of velocity data, and encoding the polynomial parameters into binary form using a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). The study also explores the practical application of this system by conducting experiments with modified Lincoln MKZ hybrids, demonstrating the feasibility and efficiency of this approach. The paper presents both the methodology and results of these experiments, further expanding upon the potential applications and implications for CAV technology. By comparing the final accuracy, we find this approach can achieve 80% of the original velocity data.
