Project Title
Blindstick using arduino UNO and GPS tracking system with dbms
Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject Summary- Blind people can’t easily recognize obstacles or stairs while using any normal blind stick.
- No safety features on the normal blind stick.
- Can’t locate the location of the normal blind person when they are having an emergency problem or lost in a public area.
- Project aims to equip a blind person with a audible signal, indicating a distant obstacle and with location.This can give a blind person confidence to make the right decisions. The sensor is mounted on the lower end of the rod that can detect the obstacle at a distance. The other sensor was able to hear incoming sounds like an awesome car and send it to a small controller. The Microcontroller sends a sound signals to the speaker where the blind person can hear and a small chip in the blindstick antennae may decide to send an alarm to the person. The same should also be helpful in parking a car in danger based on a critical distance alarm.
- To develop a prototype hardware for modern blind stick.
- To help the blind people navigate the route at their best.
- To reduce the risk of injuries and lost for the visually impaired person.
- To creating a suitable software for the visually impaired person.
Methodology of implementation:
- I am using agile process model and flowchart method for taking decisions because it can make my work more easier and efficient.
Why using agile method:
- Agile is an extremely practical approach to developing great products. Unlike waterfall, where risks can’t be afforded and failure isn’t an option, agile embraces risks and is prepared to handle failure.
- Agile has the willingness to learn throughout the product development process. And it has the openness to incorporate changes received via early feedback, at any stage.
- Identify moving objects such as cars coming to the blind person.

- It also indicate pit with the help gravity sensor
- It also navigate location where the person is walking via GPS and GSM/4G.
- The sensors fixed on the stick transmit the signals to receiver. After receiving the signal it send to vibrator and buzzer about the obstacle on the way.
- It will alert the visual impaired person in advance that obstacles are coming on the way.
