Outdoor Visible Light Positioning Using Artificial Neural Networks for Autonomous Vehicle Application

In this paper, a novel outdoor 2-D vehicular visible light positioning (VLP) using a linear array of streetlights and artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed. The classical position methods which are mostly based on triangulation will not work with the linear array of the street light. Hence, we proposed a spatial diversity receiver with ANN to overcome the collinearity condition. The proposed system is simulated for a realistic outdoor condition and provides an accurate positioning with an average RMS error of 0.53m.
