Development of Smart Navigation System using GSM and RFID Technology in Indoor Surroundings

Abstract

Abstract:  The primary goal of this work is to develop a smart navigation system using global system for mobile communication (GSM) and radio frequency identification (RFID) to assist the blind people to notice hindrances and navigate in the direction to target. Maximum of the blind individuals in the world use white sticks to travel from one place to another place. Due to their blindness, they are unable to be aware of their environment. The flexibility of the visually impaired persons is limited in number. The purpose of this development is to design a navigation system that will be able to direct a visually impaired person securely and comfortably in an indoor situation. This goal is to use an ultrasonic sensor to find out the range of hindrances. and a microcontroller to perform according to the receiving input. The arrangement includes a warning instruction through voice translation and a buzzer sound.

It can be simply operated by a blind person by identification of hindrances by using the ultrasonic sensor device. Here GSM works as a mobile telephone which gives information about the emergency condition experienced by the blind. Project aims to provide accurate directions to the blind with help of RFID reader and tags. It is a flexible navigation system   which gives information to a blind person with about the  shortest routes and  to authorize him to travel universally exclusive of accidents.
