Abstract - Communication based on visible spectrum is a
new mode of wireless communication technology usingvisible
spectra by typical transmitters and receivers. This technology
in developing Intelligent Transportation is a cost-reduction
method. Currently Radio Frequency (RF)-based technology is
used for road safety applications and ripping out this method
entirely by replacing it with VLC is not particularly feasible, so
that the idea is retrofitting system that currently uses to work
with combining both RF and VLC technology. Here paper
presents the specific technologies of wireless methodology for
the Intelligent Transportation, which helps to decrease the
occurrence of traffic accidents, optimize the traffic flow and
improve the safe of devices and roadside users. Application
based on communication of vehicles, and vehicle to
infrastructure has emerged the best solutions to improve
traffic safetness. This are have, visible light communication
with big potential for simple design for functional efficiency
and large area distribution along with usage of Wi-Fi. The
intention of this survey on a wide field, Intelligent

1. INTRODUCTION
Heavy increase of traffic on roads in metropolitan
towns and cities of the various countries are experiencing
greenhouse emissions, traffic congestion and accidents
leading to poor quality of life. Recent studies forecast that
road accidents will become the major reason of death in the
world by 2020[1, 2].With the increased volume of road
traffic, important factor is to introduce advanced intelligent
road traffic information system which can monitor and
control vehicle movementstominimizecongestions,journey
time and accidents [3][4]. Modes of communications, like
Vehicle-Vehicle, Vehicle-Infrastructure (V2I) and reverse of
V2I mode investigated to reduce accidents and fatalities.
Using of these modes of communication with present
vehicle-sensing technique has a bigpotential whichenabling
many applications for safety on road in advance, passenger
information, services of manufacturer, and optimization in
vehicle traffic. The committee by European Unionformobile
communication to Twenty-Twenty (20-20) Information
Society, among other consortia and standardization bodies,
are both coordinating efforts of various parties to enable
highly reliable and efficient vehicular communications in
coming wireless communication networks.[5],[6].
The ITS [7] considers using cooperative
technologies to decrease the accidents number and of
associated fatalities. The aim is to incrementtheefficiencyof
the transportation system and thereby reduce the CO2
emissions. ITS add value to the transportation system by
providing access in real-time to relevant traffic information.
By use of I2V /V2I and V2V communications continuously
collect traffic data, analyze it and distribute it, in order to
increase the vehicle awareness. Moreover, this information
enables an active management of the transportation device,
increasing efficiency and reducing traffic jams. The
assembled data is used to automatically adjust the
transportation system to different traffic situations.
Therefore, a different aspect of the ITS is the widespread
distribution. However, based to ensure its effectiveness, the
system requires a large arial distribution of the intelligent
vehicles and of the intelligent infrastructures, enabling it to
gather more data and to efficiently distribute it. Withal, a
major challenge for the ITS is to maintain the
implementation cost as lowaspossible,butwithoutaffecting
its reliability regarding the road transport system, the
growth in vehicles in large cities, congestion,theconsequent
growth of fuel and pollution consumption, directly impact
the health of the population. Another effect is the increase in
accidents, which provide feedback to previous effects [10].
Summarization of technical methods involved in
intelligent Transport method: Intelligent Transportation
System integrates current and growing communication
technologies. Due to development of many technologies, the
transportation system in wireless communications,wireless
networks connect the devices; transmit the data through
signals throughmediumforcommunication betweenvarious
devices.
To improve transportation conditions, safety, and
services, like microwave and radio wave, for sharing
transferring the data among nodes. This communication
mode has various sub categories for domains such as,

cellular networks ,sensor networks, , mesh networks and a
different types of ad-hoc networks but different in case like
types of packet, infrastructure and resources.
Computational in science used in ITS by providinga
development in architecture, platform and software for
application which is real-time.Theplatform meansincluding
process control that ismodel-basedandartificial intelligence
[11].This is making up of four parts, Quantitative,
Operational Languages, tools for automotive running
[12].Advanced Driver Assistance System solves safety
problem in transportation is an example of this technology
[13].Floating Car Data (FCD) in transportation system
determines the transportation speed on the track. FCD
works to determine the speed, travel direction, tie and
localization data from mobile phones where mobile phones
act as sensors. Networks like CDMA, GPRS, UMTS, and GSM
are used by floating data/cellular data works. Data being
collected through position of vehicles at constant time
intervals [14]
Sensing technologies is an unprecedented
technologyinwhichembeddedsensorwork.Wirelesssensor
networks have a large number of sensor node represent a
significant efficiency over traditional sensor [15] end to end
delay and synchronization are critical for this type of
systems [16].Inductive loop detection is a detection system
using the magnet to induce an electrical current in a wire. Its
application in vehicle detector, vehicle passage for
communication and reception of signals.VSN240 vehicle
sensor node is one example of this, for measuring earth’s
magnetic field [17].
Vehicle Video Detection is alternativefortraditional
loop detection system. Video image acquisition, videoimage
processing appropriate cabling and vision processing are
major functions. Advantages of this system are less cost for
data collection, better analysis, and accuracy [18].
In radio modem communications, data transferring
between locations, mostly the distance of devices from10 to
40 mile range, using both frequency types that is Ultra High
Frequency and Very High Frequency. Fleet management,
automated meter reading, telemetry applications, SCADA
applications use this technology. Information broadcast on
congestion and emergencies via FM radio band, along with
the weather changing [19].
LED-based VLC system is a new technology that
used in environments of vehicular using already used
infrastructures such as traffic lights that based on LED.
Vehicle to anything communications elevates the
collaboration among transport infrastructure, pedestrians,
and vehicles, which help to eliminate 80% of the current
road crashes and helps to improve telecommunication and
automobile industries for a safe telecommunication
industries for a talented and better safety of ground
transportation system[8].
The rest part of this literature survey is elaborated
as follows. Section II states the overall literature survey of
the system, specifying various technologies used and then
section III contains a discussion about the common issues,
In, [25] mainly based on the study of the basic of
technologies with WAVE and in thisidea ofusingTDMA MAC
to achieve real-time constraints and it efficiently deliver
solutions, section IV gives the conclusion for this survey and
proposes several future research directions that could be
addressed.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
2.1 Short range communications
According to Williams [9], the term Intelligent
Transport Systems is used to describe complex systems in
which vehicles, passengers, drivers, operators, managers,
and environment interact, providing with guidance and
movement experience with making road systems safer and
better drainage capacity. This is possible due to the
information the integration withinformationtechnologyand
communication systems, applied to the field of transport
IEEE 802.11p describe method of communication
takes place over each channel of the spectrum of DSRC,
which produce a set of new requirement on communication
system by introducing 802.11p for WAVE BSS andoperating
mode. Advantages of, security and multichannel operations
for other upper layer applications [20]
Traffic safety system classified as a system which
real-time which means that the data traffic sent on the
wireless channel has a deadline. An important component is
MAC protocol. To meet the deadline two MAC methods have
been evaluated i .e having a bound on the line access request
from channel to channel access. Unpredictable behavior is
the main drawback is ITS [21].
A specific technology for communication for
vehicular mode for safety measures, therefore performance
evaluation of the varying impact of channel conditions done
[22], impacts of efficient energy packet error rate,the rateof
collision, and successful packet transmission related to
throughput performance.
In [23] surveys combined working of cellular
networking and DSRC solutions for better communications.
This will describes each technological limitations andDSRC-
cellular architecture which is hybrid. The main challenges is
network selection issues were vertical handover.
The technology which is wireless chosen properly
which has severe interferences in complete DSRC system to
open road to develop a for ITS application using digital
technology combined as spread spectrum along having
reception with diversity [24] .The DSRC system is thus
operational in its basic form supportingseveral mobileusers

over an 18 and 500 meters distance more. For efficiency in
design, the radio channel is categorized as Packets. But it
shows some drawbacks like on using the centralized way
and perfectly avoiding a collision.
Special Interests Group started bluetooth
communication technology for communication whichshort-
range. This technology used in ITS for capturing travel time,
license plate recognition systems and for data collection,the
protocol used by this technology broadcast a 48B MAC
address[26].
2.2 Long range communications
Long range communication includes microwave
access for WiMAX, Mobile Communication forGlobal System
, 3G meant for providing long distance wireless access over
[27].WiMAX comprises two set of address: 802.16-
2004(IEEE 802.16d)forWiMAXfixedand802.16-2005(IEEE
802.16e) for mobile WiMAX. The range is 30 miles and
70Mbp data rate [28].
Network technology that is ad hoc networks for
vehicle is one of the wireless networks for communication
among vehicles running on roads. On highways, VANET has
more reliability. One of the drawbacks of VANET is
conventional routing not suitable. But in this paper [29]
determines reliable routes with a renewed mechanism is
invented with the vehicle information from the vehicle
source to destination vehicle. Demerit for this paper is low
latency
In [30] widely developed technique in cellular
network, deals with the communications between device-
device, provide a solution to support reliable and efficient
vehicular communications. This paper explain power
allocation and spectrum sharing concentrated on slowly
large-scale varying wireless channels with fading
information . Uniform capacity performance is available
across all links between vehicle and infrastructure. High
mobility is a major drawback.
Zigbee [32] technique used ITS is new method with
low cost, wireless PAN standard, low power with device
designed to reach the needs of various sensors and other
devices.
In [33] deals with the standardization of GPS in cell
phones and vehicles in traffic. Advantage of this is increased
accuracy when compared with heavily relying on cell
information, mainly in triangulation and trilateration
method. Its demerit is precision lack in the position and
speed measurements.
In [34] presents the design of area information
system(GIS) based on webservicetechnology,tosupportITS
applications with spatial data and processing related togeo-
processing like detect addresses whichisduplicate,planning
routes ,display maps, etc. without intermixing GIS
instruments.
A new method described in [35], cloud computing
based traffic control system for metropolitan areas, to
increase the operational performance, thesafetyoftravelers
and to decrement energy consumption. For routing
geographical area addressing and service based with cloud
discovery mechanism used. Traffic throughput improves by
this method using the dynamic route.
In [36], communications based on LTE which is
device-device (D2D) developedtoa newmethodforwireless
communications along short-range in beyond and advanced
4G networks. For this CVN solution is used with architecture
which is fully integrated for LTE-based communications for
vehicular environment in ITS. To support CVN, NS3
extensions implemented.
Wi-Fi is technology that become a predominant
method by accessing the internet wirelessly, in [37]
describes use of Wi-Fi indirect device to device
communication. In this performance-energy through
experimentation novel trade-off of the NoA defined power
with Wi-Fi having direct saving protocol.
In [38], presents cellular networks using LTE and
Wi-Fi direct with a supporting protocol for communications
between devices. In thissupportedwithminormodifications
over LTE network to the standard procedures without any
change in infrastructure. The reasonable transmission rates
is an advantage by this method and end delay is major issue
using this method.
In [39], gives an idea of using internet by visible
light communication. A wireless network using VLC is new
technology that can create the path for a communication to
establish a smart wireless network grid, underwater
communication grid along with mobile services
In [40], a method of the communication on road to
vehicle with visible light mechanism and system using the
high-speed camera as a receiver and traffic light using LED
as the transmitter, which is found by the subtraction of the
frames arranged in consecutive pattern.
Visible light communication promises large-scale
acceptability due to capability for provide localized, light
base cells using unlicensed spectrum [41].LED has become
common in automotive lightning because of its long service,
low cost, vibration resistance and better performance, so
used for V2V communication [42].
3. COMMON ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS
From thesurvey,someofthe commonshortcomings
were observed and pointing out the solution as follows.

Data rate: in every technique main objective is to give
awareness to public or vehicles or authorities about the
problems in the fast method, so designinga system withhigh
data rate is required here.
Spectrum: most of the intelligent transportation works on
RF medium, which is band limited, a new eco-friendly
technology suggested.
Complex infrastructure: Another issue is, the design of the
system, which will be difficult in outdoor conditions and for
vehicles to carry huge onboard units. For this simple design
with small size or an existing infrastructure is suggested.
4. CONCLUSION
The Intelligent Transportation technologycombine
many technologies and provide the perfect solution to
reduce and avoid problems caused by road traffic to both
human and properties, causing public issues. This literature
survey summarizes the field of an intelligent transportation
system which covers many technologies, offering benefits
like improved safety, efficiency,mobility andaccessibility for
areas like arterial, data collection, environmental issues,and
traveler information.Somecommonlimitationsaredata rate
and system design. Traditional technologies failed to
compact it all, to overcome these limitations combined Wi-Fi
and Li-Fi technology is proposed. This paper enables for
future research to understand overview for new
technologies for transportation system, which may be
needed for further study.
