LIMITATIONS All systems currently available possess one or more of the following limitations: unaffordable cost (ii) non

availability of sales, marketing or servicing in developing countries (iii) unsuitability for complex unstructured traffic and bus stop conditions indeveloping countries where multiple buses arrive and line up arbitrarily at random positions (iv) dependence on electricity or structural support available on bus stops.

DISCUSSION: (literature review) Reliable access to the bus transport system is a key challenge for enhancing mobility and socio-economic opportunities for the visually challenged persons, particularly in developing countries. It is aimed at providing independence to the user and reduces anxiety and uncertainty in boarding the right bus. It may also benefit the senior citizens and individuals with low vision. The installation of the system requires minimal modifications in the bus. The system design is highly modular and language independent thereby allowing usage in any language or dialect. The system described for the bus transport system is generic and can be used for trams, trains, metro rail etc. where multiple route vehicles are boarded from the same location. It can also be adapted for a building navigation system for the visually challenged wherein identification modules can be placed at important landmarks like fire-exits, staircases etc. that transmit auditory cues once selected by the use. The system reduces dependence on sighted assistance and thereby empowers the visually challenged.

Conclusion:
Our aim is achieved to some extent, however we did not go into the technicalities of the project. During our research work we found various societies and NGOs that are working in support of this problem. The main source of gathering all this information is internet. The main findings of the research are the societies and the NGOs that are working in support of this problem. This problem exists mostly in developing countries, the one like ours. All these countries are taking steps for this in their individual manner. Although we realize the limitations of the system that is still exiting as blind people identification at the bus station, or need to add some features such as equipment necessary to search destination information for blind people

Provide Audible Bus Number and Destination


Community participants also suggested audible announcements by each arriving bus, providing its number and destination when it arrives at the stop. One of my main problems is I dont know what bus it is, so the bus comes up and I cant read the number on the bus, so what I have to do is stand there and they open the door, and I say, What bus is this? Its not right.

Provide information and communications intended for people who are blind or low vision in a variety of formats. Understanding that people with disabilities, including people who are blind or low vision, may have a wide range of needs for assistance.
