ULTRASONIC ALARM FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED

AIM:

The main aim of this project is to design the obstacle recognition system using

ultrasonic sensor, useful to the visually impaired persons.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the project is to know the obstacles in various areas. By this system an

alerting will be technique for the visually impaired person.

DESCRIPTION:

 Visually impaired people are lived in inconvenient compared to ordinary people. They

do not get information through eyes. It is true that visual part in the people life is one of the

important things. Visually impaired people use assistant device and different method for

reducing in convenient in their life.

The proposed system can announce information of obstacle in real time. Accordingly,

blind people cannot recognize obstacle in front. This system can notify caution alert when

there is an obstacle or unexpected situations. By the received short and long range

information from ultrasonic sensor, blind person can perceive the nearby environment

information. Another advantage of proposed system has made the price of a low cost and

raised portability for commercially available.

The microcontroller will read the signals from the ultrasonic sensor and the distance

will be calculated. If any obstacle is found within the predefined distance, buzzer will be

initiated for intimation to the blind people.

HARDWARE USED:

1) Battery

2) Microcontroller (AT89S52)

3) LCD lines (16*2 lines)

4) Ultrasonic Sensor

5) Buzzer

SOFTWARE USED:

2
1) Keil vision3

2) Express PCB

3) ISP

RESULT:

We proposed very convenient and safe obstacle recognition system for visually

impaired people. This system has merits that can notify different situation according to the

distance. This system provides safe and accurate guideline for blind people.
