BUS STOP REMINDER FOR

BLIND PERSONS USING RFID

ABSTRACT

 In this project we discuss about Bus indication for blind people using RFID
(Radio Frequency Identification) for visually challenged People to make
them easier traveling without depending on others. This system consists of
two sub systems Bus indication system & Bus Station system. Here RFID
Reader is placed 100mts away from the bus station. Whenever the bus
going to reach the certain bus station the RFID Reader reads the RFID Tag
which is attached to the bus. If it gets detected and identified then it is
reported as a voice command to the blind people in the bus station
PROPOSED SYSTEM:

 In this system we are using RFID Reader and Tags. RFID reader reads the
tags gives information regarding bus stops using Speaker Module.

LITERATURE SURVEY

 Ali et al., (2017) presents an Assistive Technology (AT) to help visually impaired people
avoiding obstacle using proposed Kinect depth camera and windowing-based mean
method. The proposed system has the ability to change the walking dog, which is an
expensive choice by evaluation and also it is clear that its lighter, cheaper and also no need
of electricity.
 Zehui et al. (2017) introduced AB Aid, a novel system designed for blind or visually
diminished people to navigate, with profitable off-the-shelf (COTS) mobile devices. Blind
mobility aid is a key part in the daily life of blind people. Even though sufficient of systems
or devices are designed to make the navigation of blind people easier, those are normally
exclusive and hardly reasonable for them.
CONTINUE..
 Adarsh et al. (2016) provided a solution with the aid of wireless sensor networks (WSNs).
The proposed Zig Bee system is used for indicating the presence of blind person in the bus
station. In this proposed work voice module and APR9600 audio playback systems are
used for updating bus arriving and reaching destinations. This will inform and to guide
him as to what he has to do next. The informations provided are analyzed by
microcontroller and it will generate the matching bus numbers. Then the bus number will
send to blind person using Zig Bee transceiver and announced in the microphone attached
with the system.
 Tatsuya at el. (2017) proposed to integrate it with visual information to perform efficient
structure from motion and camera localization. In particular, they assumed that the
environment is already instrumented with Bluetooth low energy (BLE) signals to provide
rough proximity information.
ARDUINO UNO:
 The Uno with Cable is a micro-controller
board base on the ATmega328. It has 14
digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be
used as PWM outputs); 6 analog inputs, a
16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection,
a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset
button.
 It contains everything need to support the
microcontroller; simply connect it to a
computer with a USB cable or power it with
an AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
RFID READER:
 The RC522 RFID Reader module is
designed to create a 13.56MHz
electromagnetic field that it uses to
communicate with the RFID tags (ISO
14443A standard tags). The reader can
communicate with a microcontroller over
a 4-pin Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
with a maximum data rate of 10Mbps. It
also supports communication over I2C
and UART protocols.
APR960 MODULE:
 The APR9600 device offers true single-chip voice
recording, non-volatile storage, and playback capability
for 40 to 60 seconds.
 The device supports both random and sequential access
of multiple messages. Sample rates are user-selectable,
allowing designers to customize their design for unique
quality and storage time needs.
 Integrated output amplifier, microphone amplifier, and
AGC circuits greatly simplify system design.
 The device is ideal for use in portable voice recorders,
toys, and many other consumer and industrial
applications
SPEAKER:

 This is a simple speaker of a

resistance of 8 Ohm and a power
rating of 0.25 W. Use it in all your
projects requiring an audio output.
 This speaker has a radius of 5.5
cm and a height of 1.5 cm.
POWER SUPPLY:

 A power supply is a component that

provides at least one electrical charge
with power. It typically converts one
type of electrical power to another, but
it can also convert a different Energy
form in electrical energy, such as
solar, mechanical, or chemical.
APPLICATIONS:

 In bus and railway stations

 In hospitals
 In banks
ADVANTAGES:

 Used for visually impaired persons.

 Home automation – This project can be used to control various Home
Appliances
 We can control device from a long distance.
 Easy to access.
 Fast and efficient.
DRAWBACKS:

 For a majority of blind and visually impaired persons, public transport is the
only viable mobility option to seek social connectivity.
 Those people live in a limited environment and have difficulty to sense
what happen around them, which reduces their activities in several fields,
such as education and transportation since they depend only on their own
intuition.
CONCLUSION:

 An interactive wireless communication aid system for the visually impaired

to use city buses was developed in this study. Using the ultra-high frequency
radio waves, we have shown implementing a system which will use the
RFID tag and reader setup along with customized program that will help the
blind in identifying exact bus. Results of tests indicated that this system
could help users to successfully board their desired buses, using the
interactive communication modules. Thus showing the possibility of using
the RFID technology to help the blind.
