Abstract - Large numbers of road accidents are
taking place all over the world due to the collision
between vehicles. This paper conceptualizes and
tries to implement the idea reducing the
consequences of accidents in our daily lives and
avoid collision between vehicles. There are
various reasons for such adverse condition that
results in death or disabilities. The hazardous
conditions under which these conditions appear
can be overcome if there is communication
protocol used in all vehicles and depending on
their position drivers control the vehicles to avoid
accidents. The existing radio frequency (RF)
based communication system has some limitations
including interference, congested spectrum and
security. These limitations can be overcome by
using Visible Light Communication (VLC). It
provides high bandwidth, security, interference
immunity, and high data rate. This paper
presentsthe novel method to avoid collision
between two vehicles i.e. front and rear vehicles.
The proposed LiFi based Vehicular to Vehicular
(V2V) communication system is a cost effective
solution with high data rate capabilities.
Furthermore this paper presents the idea of
incorporating IOT based alert application under
the proposed capable Li-Fi systems, hence
providing the option of prevention and pre-
planning into the system along with providing
help in case of occurrence of the accident.

I. INTRODUCTION
Road accidents happen on a daily basis taking
numerous lives. According to the reports provided by
WHO, approximately 1.5 million people died in road
accidents in 2018. In order to prevent road accidents in
an efficient manner, we need counter-measures which
can inform the driver about a potential accident and
could take actions to prevent the accident before
happening when needed. One of the main causes of
road accidents is the inattentiveness of the driver due
to fatigue of sleeplessness. Other reasons include rash
driving, ignoring the road safety parameters and in
some cases, heavy traffic. The other reasons can be
mapped as includes sudden loss of driver’s
concentration, brake fails, loss of stability. This paper
aims to develop an interactive system which can detect
the possibility of any potential accident that could take
place while driving and warn the driver about the
same. To do so, we will be using wireless technology,
specifically Li-Fi. VLC is a data communication
system which uses visible light for high data
transmission and reception. This technology is known
as Light Fidelity (LiFi). This will be used to carry and
transmit all the data required to prevent the accident
and will be connecting the so created network of
vehicles, its environment and the cloud using IoT. If
the accident takes place, warning messages will be sent
to nearest hospitals, fire stations and police stations to
take the needed action. This will also provide with a
smooth and efficient traffic control system where each
vehicle will be able to communicate with each other.
There are various ways through which it can be
implemented such as the RFID system and the DSRC
system approach. We have selected the use of Li-Fi
technique because of the ease it offers during the time
of data transmission, the cost effectiveness of the
system and the improved range that is offered by Li-Fi
when compared to other methods. To implement this
ideology, we have been reviewing research papers
which deal with the same cause.
