An Intelligent Walking Stick for the Visually Challenged People

using IOT
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
In this high-tech era, technology has made it possible that everyone can live a
comfortable life. But somehow the physically challenged people need to depend upon others in
their daily life which ultimately makes them less confident in an unfamiliar environment. But
nowadays the explosion of innovative technology provides many opportunities for them to live
confidently without feeling as a burden.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
The proposed system consists of a walking stick which consists of the ultrasonic sensor
so that when there’s any obstacle, it is going to alert the person carrying the stick by the voice
module through the speaker and a vibration motor. And it is also having an IR sensor so that
whenever manholes are present, IR receiver is not going to receive the signal and alert the person
that there’s a manhole. It also has a GPS module so that the acquaintances of the blind person
can know the coordinates when he/she is in danger.

1. Battery
2. Microcontroller
3. Ultrasonic Sensor (HC SR04)
4. IR Sensor
5. MEMS Sensor
6. Water Detection Sensor
