Abstract:

Engineers have a social responsibility towards the improvement and the development of the infrastructure and design in the field of integrated engineering. Designing and developing a human assistance system for the blind people integrates technology into devices using which culminates the magic of conventional system. Bus journey has to be safe and comfort since navigation in outdoor environment is highly difficult for people having congenital blindness or blind people. Several solutions have been proposed like walking stick or white cane, guide dogs and GPS guidelines to deal with this difficulty. Although different techniques have been useful in several real-time scenarios, an improvement in deploying the use of artifacts is not natural for blind users. The paper aims to develop a bus detection hardware prototype using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for vision blindness. RFID has the potential to be a useful aid with the standardization of RFID tags and RFID readers. The system contains RFID communication technology to communicate visually impaired with the outdoor environment those who travels by bus. It is a convenient system that the person freely uses the transport system without any assistance using the integrated engineering technology.
