In this paper, the impact of misalignments on visible-light vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) links is examined. By means of modeling and simulation, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the V2V channel formed by two vehicles driving in a platoon arrangement on a two-lane road with straight and curved sections is obtained and analyzed. Results show that misalignments caused by road curves can greatly reduce the SNR and, therefore, the link range. However, the SNR reduction can be mitigated using curve adaptive headlights and link range can be increased using higher FOVs.
