ABSTRACT

Visually challenged people face a lot of problems while walking on the roads finding hindrances in their path, which is not safe for them. This walking stick provides solution for this problem. We come up with a solution in this chapter, embedded in a stick comprising many sensors like ultrasonic to detect obstacles of the way and pot holes. Water sensor is placed at the bottom to avoid water on the roads and smoke sensor to guard from fire or heat. A buzzer and alarm system is there to warn the person when obstacle is detected. Arduino Nano is used as a microcontroller in the system for all the working. It is economic, responsive, power efficient, and foldable.
