Passenger Bus Navigation and Assistance Providing System for Blind People

چکیده
In this paper we propose a passenger bus navigation system using Wireless Sensor Network (WSNs). This System comprises of three Units: Bus Station Unit, Bus Unit and Blind Unit. The Blind people on the Bus Station are provided with a Blind Unit. The blind speaks his destination on the microphone provided on the Bus Station Unit. When the desired bus stops at the station for the Blind, then via voice synthesizer the recorded indication is made for blind to reach on the bus. After reaching on the bus, if Blind wants any help like medicine, water or any specific need then there are Push Buttons available on the Blind Unit. By pressing this Push Buttons Blind person can get assistance from available options. Now when bus reaches at any station, it will check at every station for blind person‟s destination. Whenever match occurs then Blind will be notified via recorded voice via voice synthesizer. This system is also useful for the elder people. Key words-Wireless sensor Networks (WSNs), Zigbee, Voice Recognition System, RFID, Voice Synthesizer

متن کاملNavigating blind people with walking impairments using a smart walker
Navigation in complex and unknown environments is a major challenge for elderly blind people. Unfortunately, conventional navigation aids such as white canes and guide dogs provide only limited assistance to blind people with walking impairments as they can hardly be combined with a walker, required for walking assistance. Additionally, such navigation aids are constrained to the local vicinity...
