DESENVOLVIMENTO DE TECNOLOGIAS ASSISTIVAS, DE BAIXO CUSTO, PARA MOBILIDADE AUTONOMA DE PESSOAS CEGAS

Resumo

This work presents two proposals for assistive technologies,with low cost of implantation and use, that aim to allowthe circulation of the blind in large urban centers, with lowcost of implantation and operation. The first one, presentsa sensory cane, for the detection of obstacles by pedestrianproposals. The following proposal describes a bus detectionsystem based on Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology,with the objective of facilitating the boarding of blind people,or people with low vision, on buses. A given system wasbuilt and field tested at 91.5%, indicating the feasibility ofthe proposal.
