Revolutionizing Highway Navigation: Exploring the Potential of LIFI Technology

Abstract

This research work tackles the challenge of reliable navigation in congested urban environments by proposing a novel system that combines LiFi and LoRa technologies. In existing methods of the navigation there are complications with interference with the infrastructure and limited bandwidth so these can be overcome by the presented prototype. The LiFi transmitter which is placed in the streetlights, uses visible light for the transmission of the information of location at particular co-ordinates, which is received by the LiFi receivers equipped in the vehicles, that transmitted information will be directly given to the navigation system, which provide with continuous seamless navigation even in the places where there no service available, moreover this advanced navigation system is also capable of broadcasting the present location of the vehicle through the LoRa module to the outer world, by which the present location of the vehicle can be monitored, thereafter in the prototype, transmitted LoRa signal is received by the LoRa module and displayed in the LCD, this LoRa module has very long range and uses very low power when compare to the cellular network. In the non-serviceable locations like terrines, valleys, tunnels this idea can be a major contribution in the field of navigation.
