Abstract : pIndia is one of the fastest developing country in the world. One of the disadvantages of this unprecedented growth is the ineffective traffic management. Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) is a form of bi-directional Visible Light Communication (VLC) in which light is modulated at speeds greater than a human eye can follow. Li-Fi can be used to implement Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication as it has many advantages over other communication protocols. One of the main advantages of Li-Fi is that it provides connectivity within a very large area with more security and higher data rates. Emergency vehicles such as Ambulances, Firefighting trucks, Police vehicles etc. can propagate faster through traffic-dense roads using Li-Fi based V2V communication system. In this paper, a V2V communication system is proposed in which the headlight and tail light of a vehicle are made as Li-Fi transmitter and Li-Fi receiver respectively. Using the proposed system, when a traffic signal receives an alert regarding an emergency vehicle, the traffic signal would immediately turn green. Thus, decreasing the waiting time of emergency vehicles in traffic dense lanes. The proposed system was designed, implemented and tested for its operation. © 2018 IEEE./p
