Description

The combination of VLC and blockchain technologies has immense potential to solve several problems that arise in urban infrastructures of smart cities. This chapter examines real- life instances and scenarios of the said integration beginning from accident prevention, traffic management to coordination of autonomous vehicles and smart parking services. VANET consists of V2V and V2I communication which promotes averting collisions, hazards and even allows an adaptive optimization of traffic in real- time environments. In addition, blockchain assists this by providing data preservation as well as guaranteeing security and accountability across all aspects of the construction through decentralized individual approaches, smart contracts, and incentivized mechanisms. Among the outlined features the one that follows from the federation of V2V devices is the accident prevention through secured emergency response systems which can be a part of blockchain ecosystem hence providing reliability in dispatch coordination. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
