Developing an application to facilitate barrier-free public transportation for visually impaired persons

 

 

The venture aims to develop a public transportation application activated by voice for visually impaired persons. Users can use voice commands to check the estimated time of arrival of public transportation. The application comes with a care-on service. Based on machine learning, it can detect anomalies in the travelling behaviours and activities of the users. The ultimate goal is to create a barrier-free travel environment and enhance the physical mobility of the visually impaired and elderly people and raise public awareness of their needs.
