Abstract

The main objective of this paper is helping the blind/old and illiterate people as well as pedestrian people using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Two units namely the passenger unit and the bus unit consisting of different modules like the PIC controller, voice synthesizer, speech recognition system, ZigBee and a GPS module is used. With the help of the ZigBee module in both the units the passenger identifies the bus it has to board. The microcontroller controls the GPS module and the Speech recognizer that are used for tracking the location and knowing the desired location given by the passenger respectively. If the location matches, the voice synthesizer will notify the passenger via earphones connected to the passenger unit to get down at the desired location. This project is also aimed at helping the elder people for independent navigation.
