Prevention of Road Accidents by Interconnecting Vehicles using LiFi and LoRaWAN Technologies

Road accidents remain a global issue, causing countless injuries and fatalities every year. While several measures have been implemented to prevent such accidents, there is a need for more effective and innovative solutions. In today’s world, Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication is essential for any form of activity, to prevent accidents. Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) and LoRaWAN(Low Power Wide Area Network) are two emerging wireless communication technologies that offer unique advantages over traditional wireless communication technologies like Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Li-Fi uses light waves to transmit data, while LoRaWAN uses radio waves to communicate over long distances. The performance of these technologies is evaluated and compared with communication range, data rate, and power consumption. Additionally, the discussed technologies were examined for potential applications and their associated challenges. The proposed system combines both technologies which makes it work on long and short ranges.
