Optimizing Safety Driven Navigation Aid for
the Visually Impaired
TEAM MEMBER(BATCH NO:03 ) GUIDED BY:
Mrs. V.RAJESWARI ,M.E., AGALYA.K (211521205008) ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION & SAI SRUTHI.AS (211521205014) TECHNOLOGY ANBARASI.K (211521205015) PANIMALAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Abstract • This project aims to develop a navigation aid using Internet of Things (IoT) technology for visually impaired individuals, with a focus on safety optimization. • The system leverages IoT sensors, such as ultrasonic and infrared sensors, to detect obstacles and provide real-time feedback to the user. • With the integration of AI, the system interprets environmental data to offer audio cues for safe navigation, enhancing user independence and confidence. Introduction • Visually impaired individuals face significant challenges in independent navigation, particularly in crowded or unfamiliar environments
• According to WHO, 30 million social classes are forever
outwardly disabled and 285 billion social classes with vision weakness
• Traditional aids, such as canes and guide dogs, provide limited feedback and often require user dependency on others for assistance
• This project introduces an IoT-based smart navigation system, designed to
provide real-time assistance by detecting obstacles and guiding users safely through their surroundings. Existing System
The current solutions for visually impaired navigation include:
•White Canes: Limited range and require physical contact with obstacles. •Guide Dogs: Provide companionship and navigation assistance but come with training costs and limitations. •GPS-based Apps: Offer directional guidance but do not detect immediate physical obstacles. • These systems have limitations in ensuring immediate safety and lack real-time feedback on the physical surroundings, which is crucial for the visually impaired Proposed system • The proposed system utilizes IoT technology to improve safety and navigation for visually impaired users by integrating: • Sensors (Ultrasonic, Infrared, etc.): Detect obstacles within a defined range and identify their proximity. • Real-time Processing: Microcontrollers process data from sensors and activate alerts based on obstacle distance. • This system ensures a proactive approach to navigation, enhancing the safety and autonomy of visually impaired individuals.
