Smart Parking Information System Exploiting Visible Light Communication

In this paper, we propose a smart parking information system exploiting visible light communication (VLC) technology to help drivers getting the real-time parking information as well as direction guide. By providing accurate information on available parking spaces, drivers save time and fuel and increase efficiency of the parking process. Therefore, the proposed system not only gives the illumination function of LED but also the function of communicating in the manner of application based on the VLC. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is validated through experiments in an indoor environment.
