    At the bus stops we usually see visually impaired people asking help of people present over there to know the bus number of the buses arriving . They have to depend on others for knowing the information and details related to the buses arriving. This information makes them to decide whether or not to board the bus as per their destination. The required information are generally the bus number, its destination and the type of bus(like Volvo,KIA,etc).This project is designed to make the blind independent of others and not asking for help. This will help the visually impaired at the bus stops to automatically know the details of the next bus arriving and as per that information they can instantly come up with a decision of boarding the particular bus. We will use a RFID cards and card reader to track the bus which will help in knowing the bus number and destination. Image processing is used to identify colour of the bus, which helps in knowing the type of bus. E.g. Volvo buses have Blue colour, KIA buses are green in colour, in normal BMTC buses also there are various types. This above information will also help in knowing the number of doors the bus has, some buses have single door and some have two doors. Accordingly, visually impaired can stand to get into the bus. The information after image processing will be converted into speech and sent to the required bus stops via speakers as output.
