LIMITATIONS

All systems currently available possess one or more of the following limitations:

unaffordable cost (ii) non availability of sales, marketing or servicing in

developing countries (iii) unsuitability for complex unstructured traffic and bus

stop conditions indeveloping countries where multiple buses arrive and line up

arbitrarily at random positions (iv) dependence on electricity or structural

support available on bus stops.

DISCUSSION: (literature review)

Reliable access to the bus transport system is a key challenge for enhancing

mobility and socio-economic opportunities for the visually challenged persons,

particularly in developing countries. It is aimed at providing independence to

the user and reduces anxiety and uncertainty in boarding the right bus. It may

also benefit the senior citizens and individuals with low vision. The installation

of the system requires minimal modifications in the bus. The system design is

highly modular and language independent thereby allowing usage in any

language or dialect. The system described for the bus transport system is

generic and can be used for trams, trains, metro rail etc. where multiple route

vehicles are boarded from the same location. It can also be adapted for a

building navigation system for the visually challenged wherein identification

modules can be placed at important landmarks like fire-exits, staircases etc. that

transmit auditory cues once selected by the use. The system reduces

dependence on sighted assistance and thereby empowers the visually

challenged.

Conclusion:

Our aim is achieved to some extent, however we did not go into the technicalities of the project. During our

research work we found various societies and NGOs that are working in support of this problem. The main

source of gathering all this information is internet.

The main findings of the research are the societies and the NGOs that are working in support of this problem.

This problem exists mostly in developing countries, the one like ours. All these countries are taking steps for

this in their individual manner.

Although we realize the limitations of the system that is still exiting as blind people identification at the bus

station, or need to add some features such as equipment necessary to search destination information for blind

people

Provide Audible Bus Number and Destination

Community participants also suggested audible announcements by each arriving

bus, providing its number and destination when it arrives at the stop.

One of my main problems is I dont know what bus it is, so the bus comes up

and I cant read the number on the bus, so what I have to do is stand there

and they open the door, and I say, What bus is this? Its not right.

Provide information and communications intended for people who are blind or

low vision in a variety of formats. Understanding that people with disabilities,

including people who are blind or low vision, may have a wide range of needs

for assistance.
