Samenvatting
Some automotive applications must communicate with all vehicles in the surrounding area, but others have only to send messages in a predefined direction and must know from which direction a message comes from. ISO-CALM Infrared [1], the new ISO-Standard (ISO 21214) for car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communication, offers a simple method to address other communication partners directly and to communicate with them direction-oriented. Infrared communication has outstanding capabilities to shape communicationzones according user-requirements, features high data rate for up- and download, and offers, due to the beaming characteristics, a high reliabilityand protection of privacy.
