Abstract:

Subject of study. Light Fidelity is an alluring complementary communication technology for vehicular applications such as vehicle to vehicle and navigation system. The street light communication system can be utilized for sending data like location, sign boards, traffic ahead, emergencies, speed limit etc. This can help in easy navigation and reduce traffic congestion. Method. In this paper, a hardware model for vehicle to vehicle bidirectional communication along with street light to vehicle communication has been presented. A taillight red colour light emitting diode with a headlight white colour light emitting diode was employed in the experiment to analyze the range in different situation. Main results. This paper also consists of the simulation of nonline of sight communication channel considering different atmospheric conditions. This is effective in cases where line of sight communication is not possible. It has been observed that the Q-factor of the signal were 29.53 and 25.80 in case of climatic conditions as clear and heavy Fog respectively. Practical significance. The transmission distance can be increased using brighter lights like used in real life headlights of cars and better photodiodes with higher photo sensitivity and fast response time. The proposed prototype is useful in the case of traffic jams and other traffic scenarios.
