Abstract
The blind detection system is used to help the visually impaired person to travel independently from one station to another bus station. The project objective is to develop a blind detection system using RFID and Bluetooth technology. It is designed using an 8-bit microcontroller (Arduino MEGA2560) with on-chip ADC and UART as a core element of the system. It has three keys, buzzer and LCD (16x2) for setting the destination station via blind. As per the selected station, travelling amount will be deducted and blind will acknowledge the destination station via buzzer.
