Mobility aid for the blind / Nurul Sakinah Rosli, Mohamad Fariz Idris and Hafizuddin Ahmad

Reading will be a major problem for the blind as they need to touch the Braille characters for them to be able to read. They are also relying on the sense of touch other than hearing. The research is about the mobility aid that will help the blind. The objectives of the research are developing a pro...

Other than that, 433 MHz RF Transceivers are used as transmitters and receiver to differentiate between different bus numbers and the Emic 2 Text-to-Speech Module to tell the blind the bus number of the bus approaching the bus stop. The Emic 2 Text-to- Speech Module is also being used to tell the name of the bus stop the blind is currently at. The results show that the research helps in aiding the blind. At the very least, it is safer to move and more independent in travelling by bus.
