Method of communicating between work machines using li-fi communication protocol

A work vehicle for operating in a field, comprising:

• a controller for controlling the work vehicle;
• a receiving module disposed in electrical communication with the controller, the receiving module configured to receive one or more light signals from a light-transmitting module on another work vehicle;
• a lighting system of the work vehicle comprising at least one light-transmitting module;
• a light control module disposed in electrical communication with the controller, the light control module configured to operably control the at least one light-transmitting module;
• wherein, the controller transmits a signal to the light control module;
• wherein, the at least one light-transmitting module transmits a light signal corresponding to the signal to the other work vehicle.

A communication system between work vehicles, comprising:

• a first work vehicle comprising a first controller, a first light system including a first light control module and at least one light-transmitting module, and a first receiving module;
• and
• a second work vehicle comprising a second controller, a second light system including a second light control module and at least one light-transmitting module, and a second receiving module;
• wherein, the first controller and the second controller communicate information therebetween via a communication protocol of transmitting light signals by the first light system and the second light system.
