An implementation of an in-vehicle power line communication system

Abstract

This paper proposes an in-vehicle power line communication (PLC) system which provides an in-vehicle communication for the video and vehicle messages transmission as a reliable alternative networking medium. The proposed in-vehicle PLC system adopts an existing in-vehicle 12-V battery power system, which means we don't need an external DC power supply for in-vehicle communication equipment to achieve the purpose of video and vehicle message transmission for driving safety.
