FIELD: physics. ^ SUBSTANCE: device uses a beacon for communication using light from the visible spectrum and video data in form of images captured by a camera. The beacon emits a visible optical signal (310), thereby transmitting location data. The beacon for communication using light from the visible spectrum has a lamp (30) for illuminating the road and a device (31) for communication using light from the visible spectrum, both mounted on a lamp-post (3). A vehicle (1) has a camera and a device (10) for locating the vehicle. The device (10) for locating the vehicle demodulates the visible optical signal (310), thus retrieving location data at that point, and calculates the current position of the vehicle (1) using the location data. ^ EFFECT: higher accuracy of locating a vehicle. ^ 6 cl, 7 dwg |
