Abstract

This paper describes an application framework which uses Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) technology to reduce the time delay and congestion caused at the toll system. The Li-Fi is a disruptive technology driven by the visible light spectrum that makes the data transmission process much faster and enhances the system efficiency. In Li-Fi, there is no interference as in radio waves and it provides higher bandwidth. It is a bidirectional wireless data carrier medium that uses only visible light and photodiodes. Everything happens very fast in this world, including transportation. In the present scenario, spending a long time in traffic is irritating. Even after the introduction of FASTag, there is not much change in toll booth queues. It is at this point where we start to think about a different plan to avoid unwanted blocks at toll booths. Hence, we introduce the concept of Li-Fi where vehicles can move through the toll booths without any pause. All that we are using here is DRL (Daytime Running Lights). This will have a corresponding receiver section which will accept the signals from the DRL. This method also has certain extra perks which will provide an interdisciplinary help to many major fields.
