Deep Learning for Optical Vehicular Communication

Vehicular optical ranging and communication system

In this paper, we developed a ranging and communication system for vehicular safety applications. The light-emitting diode (LED) array and photodetector (PD) array serve as the transceiver. The imaging technique is applied to the receiver, which can detect the angle of incident light and imaged different lights to corresponding PDs. Benefiting from this structure, this system is able to detect ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning for Traffic Light Control in Vehicular Networks

Existing inefficient traffic light control causes numerous problems, such as long delay and waste of energy. To improve efficiency, taking real-time traffic information as an input and dynamically adjusting the traffic light duration accordingly is a must. In terms of how to dynamically adjust traffic signals’ duration, existing works either split the traffic signal into equal duration or extra...

Photonic Crystal-Based Polarization Converter for Optical Communication Applications

A photonic crystal-based TE to TM polarization converter for integrated optical communication is proposed in this paper. The photonic crystal consists of air circular-holes in slab waveguide. The radius of holes are determined to be 291nm having lattice constant of 640nm using the gap map and band diagram. The polarization converter is composed of an InGaAsP triangular-shaped waveguide on SiO2 ...

Inter-Vehicular Communication Systems

Driver assistance systems are meant to support drivers with driving process in order to avoid traffic accidents, speed up the traffic and have a higher control over the traffic in general. There are a lot of systems which give support to the drivers, such as adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, automatic parking, etc. In this paper we focus on the vehicular communication systems. ...
