RFID-Based Bus Detection System for Visually Impaired

A system in bus detection for people with visual impairments using RFID is presented in an effort to make travel easier and hassle-free. The proposed system has two detectors-one at the bus station and the other at the near-by bus-and it has a database and a website. By using the bus detector subsystem, it is easy to detect and announce the names of near-by bus stations through a voice message inside the bus. This bus subsystem senses any blind person within the radius of the station and so informs the driver of a person's presence. The bus station subsystem senses the incoming buses and announces them to the blind people at the station. A full prototype of the system has been constructed and tested to confirm its working. The outcomes show promise in terms of cost-effectiveness, functionality, and safety
