1. Mobility System for Visually Impaired (MSVI) Projects and Risk Management Module CIM-302 Presented by Goutami Ghanta (K0950624) Sivaranjan Vivekananthan (K0946571)
2. Aim The aim of the Mobility System for Visually Impaired (MSVI) is to tell the blind people about their location through comprehensive computer audio out put by calculating the environmental position through Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Objectives To assist the visually impaired users to plan their own journey in 2011. To achieve the 100 percent Prepared plan by providing accurate user navigation assistance in out door environments. To provide flexible travel guides through fixed hardware devices and efficient software solution . To provide a low cost and weight , Humanized size guiding system for the visually impaired people in 2011.
3. Design of the product The user types the destination in the computer using Braille’s keyboard. The software (MSVI) then analyses all the possible routes and choose the best route. The easiest and the sophisticated route is then sent to the navigator and the directions are been analysed by the navigator. The major places and important routes are already been pre-recorded in the system. This reduces the task of searching many routes and saves much time. The navigator then connects to the GPS and gets the direction to reach the destination. The navigator also converts the data into sound signals and passes it to the Bluetooth-enabled headset; thereby the user could listen to the directions and reach the destination safely.

6. Project development team Role Description Business Analysis The business Analysis analysis the user requirements of the MSVI project, the team under business analysis ensure the user requirements, if the requirements are satisfied, then the the product can move to the Design MSVI software phase, if the requirements are not satisfied, then it has to be iterative. Project Manager The project manager of the MSVI system is a important role , he is the man has to ensure the product testing part given by the quality assurance team, if testing is completed then the project can move to the development phase , if not it has to be iterative . Developer The developers of the MSVI have to develop the MSVI system under project manager direction. If the product is not satisfied then they have to develop again the product again towards bug free product. Marketer The Sales Marketer is responsible for the product sales and marketing; they have to deliver user guides and develope advertisement campaign to sell the product
