Abstract

Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is a key component of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), enabling seamless data exchange between vehicles to limit collision risks. This study presents a hybrid communication framework that integrates light fidelity (LiFi) and wireless fidelity (WiFi) technologies to enhance safety and reliability in accident prevention. Lifi using visible light communication, provides line-of-sight for short-range communication, while WiFi ensures long-range coverage in dynamic traffic environments. The proposed system allows vehicles to share speed, braking, and positional data, enabling timely warnings to drivers in high-risk scenarios. The system fuses data communication protocol design, simulation, prototype development, testing, and evaluation. The prototype model was designed and simulated to evaluate the performance of the system in terms of functionality, timing and reliability. Results indicate that the hybrid LiFi-WiFi system improves data transmission efficiency and reduces delay compared to standalone wireless systems. This approach demonstrates significant potential in developing safer transportation networks by combining complementary wireless technologies for V2V communication.
