Application of IoT Based Stick for Visually Impaired People in CVIS System

CVIS has come up with ideas to provide a solution to make life easier and safer for visually impaired (VI) people. The primary intention of the proposed method is to solve the problem of communication of VI people with the infrastructure and vehicles on the road. In this paper, we have proposed the idea of IoT based support stick, which can help VI patient to walk on the road, cross the signal, and to avoid the obstacles. The aim of the stick is to interact through a communication channel with the CVIS system, to reduce the difficulties in the lives of VI people by providing them the information about their surroundings so they can walk safely across the roads. The IoT based stick consists of GSM, GPS, Electronic Gyro, XBee, and IR sensor. The proposed idea can eliminate many of the problems that visually impaired people face on the road. This IoT based stick is not only helpful for VI people but also helpful for the people suffering from night blindness. The proposed systems showed promising, reliable, and energy-efficient results.
