This study proposes a technology that uses car lamps in tunnels and Li-Fi technology to prevent chain collisions and sudden stops, drawing attention for its innovative approach to traffic accident prevention.

Despite being undergraduates, Park Young-ho and Lim Hyo-jin have focused on research in "wireless optical communication," continuously demonstrating outstanding research achievements. Notably, they have contributed as first authors to papers published in internationally renowned journals such as IEEE Wireless Communications Letters (Q1, IF 4.6) and ICT Express (Q1, IF 4.1).

Professor Song Yoo-jae, who supervised the students, expressed, "I am very pleased that our students' creative and practical research results were recognized at this academic conference," adding, "We will continue to pursue innovative research that positively impacts society together with our students."
