A Wearable
Walking Support
System to provide
safe direction for
the Blind
This paper proposes and
verifies a Walking
Support Device for the blind
person. This paper proposes
and verifies a Walking
Support Device for the
visually impaired person. The
proposed system is a glasses
type wearable terminal with an
ultrasonic obstacle sensor and
a pare of bone conduction
earphone. We confirmed the
effectiveness of the system by
multi-agent simulation. The
proposed system is effective
not only for system user, but
also for collision avoidance by
other pedestrians.
Keywords:Multi-agent
This paper proposed a
Wearable Walking Support
System to provide safe
direction for visually
impaired person. By multi-
agent simulation, we
confirmed that the proposed
system is for the visually
impaired and clarified the
improvement point of the
system.

These results show that
the proposed system
is focusing too much on
the immediate person.
The system should
further extend the area
of verification in order
to enhance the
convenience.

Ultrasonic Sensor
Based Smart Blind
Stick
This paper presents design and
implementation of an
ultrasonic sensor based
walking stick for visually
impaired person. An ultrasonic
sensor module,HC-SR04 is
used for obstacle detection in
the path of the blind person
and a buzzer is used to make
the person alert. The proposed
system is implemented using
PIC microcontroller 16F877A.
Blind persons can use this
walking stick for safe
navigation. It can detect
obstacle within 5 to 35 cm
range of distance
In this paper design of a
smart blind stick based on
ultrasonic sensor is
proposed and implemented
successfully. It can be used
as an effective navigation
tool for blind persons. On
the detection of obstacle in
the path of the concerned
person the smart blind stick
sounds a
buzzer to make an alert. The
implemented system can
detect any obstacle within
the range of 5-35cm.
This work can be
extended to increase the
range of obstacle
detection and to send
this information for
further assistance along
with integrated GPS
feature, which will
provide voice directions
on detection of
obstacles in the path.

Advanced guide
cane for the
visually impaired
people
This paper focuses on
developing a new type of
cane for the visually
challenged and blind. This
advanced guide cane will help
the visually challenged person
navigate both indoors and
outdoors. This cane consists of
an obstacle detection system
as well as GPS navigation
system. The GPS navigation
system works only outdoors
while the obstacle detector
system works everywhere.
Both these systems provide a
series of audio feedbacks to
aid the user. The systems are
attached to a walking stick,
and are portable and light
weight. The advanced guide
cane is powered by a
rechargeable source and
consumes low power. The

3DCane: a
monitoring system
for the elderly using
a connected
walking stick
fall related injuries caused
have become a leading
cause of fatalities among the
elderly. Lots of aging people
rely on a cane as a help device
to overcome such problems as
balance loss and leg weakness,
presumed to be at the origin of
many fall incidents. In this
respect, the internet of things
may turn out to be critically
helpful, by offering disabled
people the assistance and
support necessary for
achieving a good quality of
life and allowing them to
participate in the social and
economic activities. In this
paper, a 3DCane design is
depicted, with an
implementation for the CANet
project, a system whereby a
comprehensive monitoring of
disabled people can be
maintained through the use of
their connected walking stick.

In the present work, a novel
method has been developed
whereby a real-time
monitoring process of
disabled people is advanced
using through the use of an
accelerometer and a
gyroscope equipped walking
cane. Real time data have
initially been displayed to
analyze the accelerometer
and the magnetometer
movements for a fall
detection algorithm to be
conceived. Then, a 3DCane
application has been carried
out for the walking stick
state real-time visualization
to replace, so as to control
the elderly movement.
Noteworthy, the proposed
monitoring system will be
soon ready for real tests in
homes exclusively inhabited
by old people. Several
experiments simulating

research perspectives is
to implement an
algorithm through
which the number of
steps can be computed
by means of the cane.

planning to investigate
