Véhiculer Traffic is an inevitable phenomenon which is directly linked with the urban developmental society and cannot be ignored as it acts as a nervous system to the society in general and individuals in particular. Urban Traffic is emerging as an incurable threat to the modern society as there is a lack of efficient intelligent traffic management system. Prior attempts to use radio frequency spectrum, ultrasonic sensors and other alternatives proved to be ineffective as they are becoming crowded, that forced to develop an alternate means like wireless communication which can accommodate the exponentially increasing traffic demand. In this proposed research initiative, a Visible Light Communication (VLC) system is analyzed on its capabilities to provide an alternative to the current standards of wireless transfer of information using light from LEDs as the communication medium. The proposed system based upon the blinking of light-emitting diodes at a rapid rate such that the human eye will not notice the change in light illumination but a highly sensitive photodiode can read the behavioral changes and decode the information embedded within it. The proposed VLC methodology is also being tried to get implemented in intelligent wireless traffic management to resolve traffic logjams that usually occur in metro cities.

Whether you’re using wireless internet in a coffee shop, stealing it from the guy next door, or competing for
bandwidth at a conference, you’ve probably gotten frustrated at the slow speeds you face when more than one device is
tapped into the network. As more and more people and their many devices access wireless internet, clogged airwaves
are going to make it increasingly difficult to latch onto a reliable signal. But radio waves are just one part of the
spectrum that can carry our data. What if we could use other waves to surf the internet? One German physicist,DR.
Harald Haas, has come up with a solution he calls “Data Through Illumination”—taking the fiber out of fiber optics by
sending data through an LED light bulb that varies in intensity faster than the human eye can follow. It’s the same idea
behind infrared remote controls, but far more powerful. Haas says his invention, which he calls D-Light, can produce
data rates faster than 10 megabits per second, which is speedier than your average broadband connection. He envisions a
future where data for laptops, smartphones, and tablets is transmitted through the light in a room. And security would be
a snap—if you can’t see the light, you can’t access the data. Li-Fi is a VLC, visible light communication, technology

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

ABSTRACT
An emerging technology Li-Fi, or light fidelity is a bidirectional and fully networked wireless
communications medium which uses light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and provides transmission of
data through illumination by sending data through a LED light bulb that varies in intensity faster than the
human eye can follow. It can provide connectivity within a very large area with more security and with
higher data rates and high speed than data that can be transmitted through Wi-Fi. It uses visible light
communication or infra-red and near ultraviolet spectrum which works by switching bulbs on and off
within nanoseconds. By using Li-Fi technology highly reliable vehicle to vehicle communication is possible
by transmitting and receiving data through LED head-lights and tail-lights. In this paper we propose a
system that uses Li-Fi enabled LED head-light, tail-light and traffic signal light that can be used for traffic
management and road safety by using vehicle to vehicle data transmission The aim of designing this system
is to reduce road accidents and managing traffic more accurately.

1. INTRODUCTION
In today’s world Internet is a must for everyone’s life. Various activities can be done with the
help of Internet. Generally Internet is used for data transmission and people want to transfer data
with high speed. For efficient and fast data transmission wireless communication between the
devices is used. Wireless communication is needed for every human being. The wireless data is
transmitted by the electromagnetic waves.
Now-a-days, Wi-Fi is the main wireless communication medium which uses radio waves and is
used in all the areas such as offices, schools, homes, colleges, Universities etc. But the main
problems of Wi-Fi are scarcity of radio waves, non-stop depletion of bandwidth, RF
interferences, expense of bandwidth and the use of repeaters. Other portions of electromagnetic
spectrum include X-rays, Gamma rays and Ultraviolet lights but they are not suitable for wireless
communication as they are dangerous for human body. Other than the said problems due to
extensive usage the radio frequency waves are getting blocked and the capacity is decreasing. In
order to overcome this difficulty in future, light fidelity (Li-Fi) technology was invented in 2011
by Dr. Harald Haas which transmits the data through visible light instead of radio waves.
Li-Fi uses LED lamps as the major source of visible light which can be mounted in streets,
houses, cars, shops, offices, etc. These LEDs are often referred to as energy savers. So now Li-Fi
eliminates the need for repeaters and base stations. Li-Fi also solves the security, hacking of

networks or tapping of data problem. Li-Fi is a cutting edge technology that offers a relatively
easier, cheaper, faster and more secure means of data transfer.
Li-Fi technology has an imperative use in road safety and traffic management. Li-Fi enabled LED
head-light, tail-light and traffic signal light can be used for traffic management and road safety
using vehicle to vehicle data transmission. In this paper we propose a method to manage traffic
and to maintain the safety of a road using LI-Fi technology. We assign each vehicle an unique
number against which information is stored in the database. Whenever any car breaks the traffic
signal or crosses the maximum speed limit the information against the unique number of the car
goes to the central server through Li-Fi. The information from the server will help to take legal
actions against the vehicles. Also if any two vehicles cross the minimum distance which is
required to prevent accident then a signal is sent to the latter vehicle to slow its speed in order to
avoid the accidents.
The paper is arranged as follows: Section 2 provides a brief overview about literature review;
Section 3 discusses about the working principle of Li-Fi; Section 4 shows the proposed system
design and architecture, and finally, Section 5 draws some conclusions and remarks on the future
works.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
LI-FI technology changes the possibility about how we access the internet, videos, audios, emails
and many more and the base of it is visible light communication (VLC), which includes for
transmitting information is transmitted by using electromagnetic spectrum. The idea of sending
information using LED’s began during the 1990's and experiments showed that transmitting data
wirelessly LEDs can be used.
The idea of Li-Fi was introduced by Harald Haas, the teacher of University of Edinburgh in
Scotland and he brought the idea of "Wireless data from every light". Haas and his re-search
assistant, Mostafa Afgani, first sent data by using light signals in 2007 [1]. The term Li-Fi was
first used by Haas in his TED Global talk on Visible Light Communication. He referred this light
signal as D-Light which can be used to produce data rates higher than 10 megabits per second
which is much faster than our average broadband connection [2].
Several research works have been carried out on working mechanism of Li-Fi, on how it provides
better bandwidth, efficiency and better availability and security, on how it has immense
possibilities, on how Li-Fi differs from other wireless communication mediums [3] [4] [5]. But
only a few researches have been carried out on practical implementation of Li-Fi. Researches
have been done to show how Li-Fi can be used in Indian Railways, how Li-Fi can be used to park
vehicles with intelligence is shown in [6], the procedure of detecting the position of a moving
person and updating the location in his device using Li-Fi is illustrated in [7], how Li-Fi in
conjunction with PIC microcontroller can be used for traffic management and road safety is
shown in [8], how vehicle to vehicle transmission can be used to reduce accidents and the
decoding of transmitted data by microcontrollers is shown in [9].
But in our work we proposed the procedure of traffic management, and road safety by using
vehicle to vehicle transmission based on Li-Fi but we used Arduino microcontroller to encode
and decode data because it is much more effective than PIC microcontroller which is only a chip
but the former is a platform. Arduino is much simpler in quick prototyping.

3. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF LI-FI
The working principle of light fidelity technology is much simple. The main part of Li-Fi
technology is formed with the new generation of high brightness LED which can be switched on
and off very fast. If the LED is on binary data 1 is transmitted and if it is off binary 0 is
transmitted [10].
A light source or LED bulbs act as transmitter on one end and on the receiver end there is a light
sensor or photo detector. When a LED flashes it behaves like a trigger which is then detected by a
photo detector. In order to build up a message, the LED is flashed numerous times or an array of
LEDs of a few different colors is used to obtain data rates in the range of hundreds of megabits
per second [11]. Depending on what the LED bulbs sense, photo detector will give output in the
binary format like 0 or 1 [12]. Figure 1 gives a clear picture of working mechanism of Li-Fi.

4. PROPOSED SYSTEM DESIGN AND OVERVIEW FOR TRAFFIC
MANAGEMENT AND ROAD SAFETY
In Li-Fi technology LED lights are the internet access points where visible lights are used for
communicating between nodes. Li-Fi technology is based on the concept of Visible light
communications (VLC) which works by switching bulbs on and off within nanoseconds.
Although Li-Fi bulbs would have to be kept on to transmit data, the bulbs could be dimmed to the
point that they are not visible to humans and yet still functional. Li-Fi enabled LED head-light,
tail-light and traffic signal light can be used for traffic management and road safety using vehicle
to vehicle data transmission. The system requires a transmitter and a receiver in each vehicle and
the LED head-lights and tail-lights act as transmitter and receiver in both back side and front
sides of the vehicle. The traffic signal light also acts as transmitter and receiver. The data to be
transmitted is encoded in the head-lights, tail-lights and traffic signal lights. The receiver consists
of a data converter and the converted data is then sent to a server or mobile which takes the
necessary action [8].

4.1. Traffic Management using Vehicle to Traffic Control Device Data Transmission
4.1.1. Managing Traffics
A very important part of the highway system is Traffic control devices (TCDs) - traffic signs,
signals and pavement markings. They provide important information about the roadway to the
drivers of vehicles. Traffic signs utilize color, shape, symbols and/or words to convey
information. To control traffic, signs using colors are used in the form of four different types of
LED lights in roads. The light sequence is: green: safe to cross, yellow or orange: continue to
cross only if unable to stop safely, Flashing yellow or orange: cross with caution (often used
when lights are out of order or shut down) and red: do not cross [13]. Figure 2 and Figure 3
illustrates this scenario.

All vehicles should be stopped when there is a red signal. But there are some vehicles which do
not wish follow this rule. Li-Fi technology can be used to prevent this violence of traffic signal.
Every vehicle can be assigned a unique number and information against this unique number must
be stored in the central database. The red, green, yellow and orange traffic lights and the head –
light and tail-lights must be Li-Fi enabled LED which can transmit and receive data. Whenever
there is a red traffic signal the server of that spot sends a signal through the red light to all nearby

vehicles to send that unique code and information about the amount of time they should wait
which is received by the head light and tail light of the vehicle. An Arduino microcontroller is
used is used to decode the received data from the red light. Then the vehicles must wait that
specified amount of time and a timer is generated. If any vehicle starts running before the
specified amount of time then that is sensed by the motion sensor attached with the Arduino
microcontroller then it sends a signal to the server through head-light or tail-light to red light
where complete information about the vehicle is then stored. Traffic police can make use of this
information if required and can take necessary action.
4.1.2. Keeping Speed Limits in Check
On particular stretches of road speed limits are used to set the maximum speed at which vehicles
may legally travel on. Speed limits may be variable or unlimited depending on the place. Speed
limits are normally indicated by using a traffic sign [14].
Speed limits can also be kept in check by using Li-Fi technology. The traffic sign where speed
limits are indicated a Li-Fi enabled LED can be mounted. All vehicles that pass through that area
can be sent a signal from the central computer through the LED on the traffic spot to the head-
light which indicates the maximum speed. The data from the head light is then decoded by an
Arduino microcontroller connected with that head-light. A LCD display is also attached with the
Arduino microcontroller which shows the maximum speed to the driver of the vehicle. Then all
vehicles should maintain that specified maximum speed. The speed of the vehicle can be
calculated by using Arduino microcontroller with one interrupt pin configured to receive
feedback from an optical sensor attached to the motor of the wheel. A photo interrupter can be
used to detect rotation by placing a gear with spokes on the drive shaft of the motor so that each
spoke will interrupt the beam. This results in a square wave output with a frequency that is
proportional to the speed of the motor and the number of spokes on the gear [15]. If the time is
recorded at each pulse from the photo interrupter and compared to the time of the previous pulse,
the motor rpm can be calculated. Then the microcontroller compares the calculated speed and the
specified maximum speed. If the calculated speed is more than the specified speed for that area
then that unique code will be send to the server through the head-light of the vehicle and action
will be taken against that vehicle.
4.2. Road Safety using Vehicle to Vehicle Data Transmission
Communication between vehicles is also possible by using Li-Fi technology. Vehicle to vehicle
communication can be used to reduce accidents by calculating distances between vehicles. To
calculate distance active ultrasonic sensors are used which generate high-frequency sound waves
and evaluate the echo which is received back by the sensor, measuring the time interval between
sending the signal and receiving the echo to determine the distance to an object [16]. Each vehicle
includes a circuit consisting of ultrasonic sensors, head-lights and tail-lights attached to Arduino
microcontroller. Vehicles must maintain a minimum distance from each other. The distances
between the vehicles are continuously calculated by the ultrasonic sensor and being compared
with the minimum distance. If any two vehicles come closer than the minimum distance then a
slowdown command is generated and a signal is sent to the second vehicle to slow down through
tail-light to head-light of another vehicle using Li-Fi technology which is then decoded by the
Arduino microcontroller. Thus accidents can be reduced.
Figure 4 gives a summarize picture of the above discussion.

5. CONCLUSIONS
Li-Fi technology has a massive use in traffic management and in establishing safe movements of
vehicles on the road. But to implement it commercially each and every vehicle has to include a
LED-based traffic head-light, tail-light and Arduino microcontroller. But the fact is, Li-Fi
technology is more costly than any other existing one. If we can somehow minimize the cost to
some extent, then the there is no need of any traffic police on the road. Again we will not face
any unnatural death on the road due to recklessness of the drivers. So it is high time we
implement this fabulous technology to step forward to a digital world.
