Abstract:

The primary target of this paper is helping the visually impaired/old and ignorant individuals and walker individuals utilizing Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Two units specifically the traveler unit and the transport unit comprising of diverse modules like the PIC controller, voice synthesizer, discourse acknowledgment framework, ZigBee and a GPS module is utilized. With the assistance of the ZigBee module in both the units the traveler distinguishes the transport it needs to board. The microcontroller controls the GPS module and the Speech recognizer that are utilized for following the area and knowing the coveted area given by the traveler separately. In the event that the area coordinates, the voice synthesizer will advise the traveler by means of headphones joined to the traveler unit to get down at the coveted area. This task is additionally gone for helping the senior individuals for free route.

Keywords:

GPS (Global Positioning System), voice synthesizer, speech recognition, ZigBee.
