ABSTRACT
This work presents a low cost vehicle-to-vehicle based visible light communication (VLC-V2V) for sending codes and instructions using the pre-availability LEDs and photodiodes. VLC is a powerful alternative method to integrate with intelligent transport systems (ITS) for road safety applications. Light from the brake lamps of a vehicle can be used to transmit instructions for emergency or sudden brake, so that the following vehicle can take precautionary measures to track it or to avoid accidents. A prototype VLC-V2V system based on Arduino/Python is designed that has low complexity and high reliability.
Experimental evaluation of the prototype shows that the system can detect emergency and sudden brakes from a distance of 2.2 m in static case and 1.2 m in dynamic case, and can provide strict brake to following vehicle, reducing the chances of road accidents, also, it can transmit the instructions to the tracked vehicle.
