Abstract

Wireless communication has developed rapidly, especially in Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) for Transport Communications. The OWC for Transport Communications provides many long-term benefits. OWC for transport communications offers reliable and efficient technology to support increasingly sophisticated transportation systems, such as autonomous vehicles and smart traffic management systems. A literature review is used as a research method for searching, collecting, and reviewing the literature. Several discussions were obtained from the papers reviewed that focused on the development of optical communication technology and model design to improve the efficiency of optical wireless communication performance for transportation communications. Then, the challenges faced by OWC technology for transportation communications range from problems in resistance to physical disturbances, high mobility, and infrastructure costs to security and privacy. Thus, it is hoped that this paper review can be a reference for further research so that it can offer solutions to deal with it.
