INTRODUCTION
The main aim of the project is to design a voice based
alerting system for the blind people .
Ultrasonic Sensor senses the obstacles in its path by
continuously transmitting the ultrasonic waves.
The controlling device of the whole system is a
Microcontroller.
This system is very helpful for blind people.

OBJECTIVES
Voice

based alerts.
Obstacle detection.
Low cost solution.
Low power consumption.

EXISTING MODEL
In

the previous model we have used PIC18F452

microcontrollers
It is a 8 bit micro controller and does not supports to
access more equipment's
In this model only IR sensors were used
This model do not supports the motion sensing sensors
High power consumption

NEW MODEL
We

are using cortex M3 Microcontroller in our project.

It is an 32 bit Microcontroller.
The length will be comparatively small and it has more
memory.
We can able to access more equipment's
It supports all types of sensors

MICRO-CONTROLLER(LPC1343)
LPC1343

is ARM CORTEX M3 based micro

controller.

ARM

CORTEX M3 is next generation core with

enhanced debug features, supports high level
integration.

CHARECTERISTICS
LPC1343 has
32kb flash memory.
8kb of data memory(SRAM).
USB device.
One UART.
Four general purpose timers.
42 general purpose I/O pins.

ULTRASONIC SENSOR

Ultrasonic sensor provides an easy method of distance

measurement.
This sensor is perfect for any number of applications that
require you to perform measurements between moving or
stationary objects.
Interfacing to a microcontroller is a snap.
A single I/O pin is used to trigger an ultrasonic burst (well
above human hearing) and then "listen" for the echo return
pulse.

BUZZER:
A buzzer or beeper is an audio
signaling device,
which may be mechanical,
electromechanical, or piezoelectric.
Typical uses of buzzers and beepers
include alarm devices, timers and
confirmation of user input such as a
mouse click .

DESCRIPTION
The block diagram explains us how the unit works.
The Ultrasonic Spectacles and Waist-belt for Visually
Impaired and Blind people explains the interfacing
section of each component with micro controller and
ultrasonic sensor.
Regulated power supply is also connected to micro
controller and LEDs also connected to micro controller
through resistors.

ADVANTAGES
Guides

blind people.
Alerts through voice based messages system.
Obstacle detection using ultrasonic distance
finder sensor
Efficient low cost design.
Low power consumption.

APPLICATIONS

It works as a navigation device for the blind people .

This system can be used to navigate by everyone not only
visually impaired under certain circumstances , like foggy
mornings with low visibility. Some winter mornings are foggy,
where the visibility is very low, then this system can be used.
This system can also be used by patients suffering with
various eye ailments like cataract, exophthalmia, post eye
operative situations and others.
This system can be modified into a more sophisticated version
of itself by using high intensity ultrasonic waves to be used
as a navigation system for geological explorations.

SCREENSHOT OF THE PROJECT

CONCLUSION:
This device will help the blind person be more
alert about the obstacles.
This project is mainly for the blind people to
avoid obstacles by themselves.
This project provide efficient and a economical
security system

FUTURE SCOPE

It can detect the obstacle presence from a longer

distance and also helps in increasing the efficiency of
the system.

GPS can help blind peoples to source & destination route

information.
GSM attachment can help in future for any immediate
causality help
