Blind people’s direction support system using ultrasonic, color sensor with fuzzy logic

Abstract

Someone who has impaired vision or blindness has a condition that is susceptible to dangers that are around him such as the presence of animals, vehicles or obstructions. People with visual impairments carry out their activities based on estimates of their feelings. One obstacle that is often faced by blind people is that if they are in a new environment, they must recognize patterns around the environment such as roads, rooms, or certain important places.his research in the form of blind shoe design using ultrasonic, color sensor and Arduino Uno microcontroller, with fuzzy logic, aims to help blind people, especially children who are educated in extraordinary schools so that in carrying out their learning activities do not experience obstacles in recognizing the school environment, such as study rooms or classrooms, toilets and roads that are in the school environment. The method used is experimental, the color sensor can read input in the form of red, blue, green and yellow which is the blind pointing pathway, and ultrasonic can read the distance of obstacles in front of the shoe using an intelligent fuzzy logic system. A pair of shoes uses Bluetooth communication, output in the form of sound through earphones as a guide to the classroom or toilet.
