Li-Fi Enabled Inter-Vehicle Communication for Real-time Landslide Detection

Abstract: The risk of accidents is very high due to highways, cross-roads, hill station, bunds of the lake and human negligence. Committing small mistakes when driving in these areas may lead to fatality. Despite using signboards, accidents continue to occur because of people’s negligence. Researchers found that 57% of accidents are caused solely by driver related factors. The chances of occurrence of landslide in ghat section are high, especially during the rainy season and during the road construction. The objective of the paper is to build a communication between vehicle using Light Fidelity system and indicating the hazardous signals when the landslide occurs. In this work, we have developed a tool using an embedded system design approach, that incorporates hardware components like Arduino Uno, LCD, Buzzer, Moisture Sensor, DHT11, ServoMotor, Li-Fi transmitter and Li-Fi Receiver, Solar Panel, Potentiometer, ADXL345 and software system like Arduino IDE. The tool is tested in an experimental setup for a scenario that warn potential vehicles of different contexts, such as “LAND SLIDE OCCURRED STAY ALERT” along with the temperature, moisture and humidity of the location.
