 ABSTRACT
Smart Wheel Chair is mechanically controlled devices designed to have
self-mobility with the help of the user command. This reduces the user’s
human effort and force to drive the wheels for wheelchair.Furthermore, it
also provides an opportunity for visually or physically impaired persons to
move from one place to another. The wheelchair is also provided with
obstacle detection system which reduces the chance of collision while on
the journey. Smart wheelchair has gained a lot of interests in the recent
times. These devices are useful especially in transportation from one place
to another. The machines can also be used in old age homes where the old
age persons have difficulty in their movements. The devices serve as a
boon for those who have lost their mobility. Different types of smart
wheelchair have been developed in the past but the new generations of
wheelchairs are being developed and used which features the use of
artificial intelligence and hence leaves a little to tinker about to the user
who uses the wheel chair. The project also aims to build a similar wheel
chair which would have a sort of intelligence and hence helps the user on
his/her movement.

 Objectives
1.To help disable people in driving
2.To develop a voice controlled wheelchair system by using
Visual Basic for wheelchair control.
3. To implement the voice user as an input to control the
movement of wheelchair.
4.Provide the facilities for disabled people and elderly people
who can’t move properly.

 Scope
If autonomous cars were to be designed with inclusivity in mind, experts say
the societal benefits could be enormous. Ruderman found that mitigating
transportation obstacles would enable employment opportunities for 2
million people with disabilities while saving $19 billion annually from missed
medical appointments

 Introduction
While the needs of many individuals with disabilities can be satisfied with power wheelchairs,
some members of the disabled community find it is difficult or impossible to operate a standard
power wheelchair. This project could be part of an assistive technology. It is for more independent,
productive and enjoyable living. The background, objectives, problem statement and scopes of the
project will be discussed in this chapter.
Problem Statements
A handicapped person with locomotive disabilities needs a wheelchair to perform functions that
require him or her to move around. He can do so manually by pushing the wheelchair with his
hands. However, many individuals have weak upper limbs or find the manual mode of operating
too tiring. Hence it is desirable to provide them with a motorized wheelchair that can be controlled
by moving a joystick or through voice commands. Since the motorized wheelchair can move at a
fair speed, it is important that it be able to avoid obstacles automatically in real time. All this
should be achieved at a cost that is affordable for as many handicapped people as possible, as well
as for organizations that support them. With these requirements in mind we propose an automated
wheelchair with real-time obstacle avoidance capability.
The power wheelchair control interfaces currently still not enough to provide truly independent
mobility for substantial number of person with disabilities. Through research and design wise, the
power wheelchair to control development along safe and effective use of the provision
independence and self-use mobility. This project will provide disability weight innovative
solutions to handle the wheel chairs to use voice interface.

This project describes a wheelchair which can be controlled only by using the
user's voice. This project aims to facilitate the movement of the disabled people
and elderly people who cannot move properly then enable them to lead better
lives without any problem. Speech recognition technology is a key technology
which can provide a new
way of human interaction with machines or tools for controlling a
wheelchair.This project consists of two parts which is software and hardware.It
is realized by using the microphone as an Intermediary which is used
as the input of human voice. In this project, Programmable Integrated Circuit
(AVR) is used as a switch to control the movement of wheelchair based on the
human voice as an input with installing two DC motor as the driving force.
There are five options for basic motions of a wheelchair to be applied by the
user. The five conditions of the wheelchair can be described as the following:
i. Moving forward
i. Moving backward
iii. Turning to the right
iv. Turning to the left
v. Stop condition
This project describes the design and development of the motion control using voice recognition for a wheelchair application.
Advantages
Modifications using mobile unit like emergency contact list, heart rate monitor and
user authentication will
be added to further enhance the vehicle functionality.
Few of the applications of proposed system are listed below:
Applications:
1. Useful for Disabled to overcome their limitations of mobility.
2. Useful for Elderly to help travel with assistance via app.
3. Useful for patients with injury to help travel during the recovery period.
4. Fit band integration to access health status update of the user is possible.
5. Supervision of the user can be done by entitled person like family member etc.
6. Smart panic alarm to alert all the concerned people about emergency faced by the
user.
Literature Survey
A dynamic vision sensor (DVS) detects temporal contrast of brightness and
has the fastest response time compared to conventional frame-based sensors,
which detect static brightness per every frame.[9] It calculates the accurate
distance in real time only with spatial information of the reflection. The
proposed design can eliminate environmental noises by using pattern matching
based on time-domain analysis [1]. Automatic Video-Based Human Motion
analyzer for consumer surveillance system describes a flexible framework for
semantic analysis of human behaviour from a monocular surveillance video,
captured by a consumer camera [12]. Successful trajectory estimation and
human-body modelling facilitate the semantic analysis of human activities and
events in video sequences [2]. Obstacle Detection for Visually Impaired [11]
Using Raspberry Pi and Ultrasonic Sensors is a wearable device in the form of
a waist belt that has ultrasonic sensors and raspberry pi installed, detects
obstacles around the user up to 500cm in three directions i.e. front, left and
right using a network of ultrasonic sensors [3].

 Conclusions
Proposed wheelchair is equipped with ultrasonic sensor to detect and avoid
any obstacles in the path, without user’s intervention. Wheelchair is equipped
with camera which will recognize the traffic signal and guide user
accordingly. Web camera which is used to take images continuously and if it
encounters a traffic signal it analyses the signal and informs the
microcontroller about the traffic signal which in turn controls the vehicle
accordingly. Wheelchair works on latest version of Raspberry Pi 3, which will
maintain the working coordination of all other sensors. Raspberry Pi is
connected to user’s Android device via Bluetooth, which acts as a joystick to
control the mobility of vehicle. The microcontroller connected with the
Bluetooth module kit recognizes the command sent from Android Device and
controls the vehicle movement automatically.
