Wireless communications systems have been rapidly growing during the last two decades, and they are gaining a significant role for multiple communication tasks within public transportation buses. In this paper, the impact of topology and morphology of different types of urban buses is analyzed with the aid of an in-house developed 3D ray launching code and compared with onboard measurements of a deployed wireless sensor network (WSN). The presence of human beings has been taken into account, showing a significant influence in the signal attenuation in the case of considering persons. In addition, the statistical analysis of simulation results considering both large-and smallscale fading has been performed, providing good agreement with statistics for typical indoor environments. In addition, a WSN has been programmed and deployed within the buses in order to analyze topological impact with overall system performance, with the aim of minimizing the energy consumption as well as nondesired interference levels. The use of deterministic techniques destined to consider the inherent complexity of the buses can aid in wireless system planning in order to minimize power consumption and increase overall system capacity.Index Terms-Indoor propagation, ray launching, urban buses, wireless sensor network.

“…CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE The project "Automated mobility and orientation system for blind people" goal is to provide safe and secure navigation for the blind people in any circumstances like roaming on the roads as well as boarding the buses [4]. The system is efficient and unique in specifying the source and destination that may encounter by the blind.…”

Abstract-The aim of this paper is to make the visually impaired people comfortable while walking on the roads as well as travelling through the buses. It also aims to find obstacles, living things or objects etc. in the exterior surroundings. It also proposes to make visually impaired people to overcome the dangerous areas like drainages, canals, lakes etc. Moreover, it is also used for bus boarding and detection using RFID.

There has been a vast advancement in Computer Vision since its inception and it has been used for the ease and betterment of the visually impaired. In this paper, we propose a bus number recognition system which will assist the visually impaired to board the correct bus. The proposed work will be deployed on bus stops. It will consist of a camera, a processing unit and speakers. Once a bus is detected, the visually impaired will be notified that a bus is approaching through constant beeps. The video feed will be further processed and ultimately the bus number and the destination of the bus will be announced through the speakers. The buses in Maharashtra have bus numbers displayed in Devanagari script. Hence we store templates corresponding to the Devanagari bus numbers in the database. Various cities use different scripts, thus by changing the database of templates this system can adapt accordingly.
