Abstract
The bus transport system is
seldom tuned to the special needs of the visually challenged. Identification of
buses arriving at bus stops is difficult because route Numbers are only
displayed on the number plate. Visually impaired persons depend heavily on
public buses for commuting. However, at a bus stop the person hears buses
approaching but cannot identify the route number. Moreover, a number of buses
arrive together and line up arbitrarily at bus stops. Even after
identification, it is Difficult to navigate towards the bus and board it as the
physical location is unknown. Our system with use of wireless radio-frequency
technology allows user to identify route number of buses Present and
approaching a bus stop. Further, the system allows the user to select the bus
of interest and navigate towards the entry by triggering auditory cues from the
bus. Assisting the users navigate towards the Bus by providing auditory cues
emanating from the entry of the bus.
