“…In the record mode the user will store all the information about his routes and when he turns right he will also store the right turn instruction in the microcontroller memory. In the playback mode, the aid measures again the distance travelled by the user and if it is the same as that of the stored distance then it indicates the user to take a right turn [6].…”

“…For instance, in areas served with proper radio signals, a very efficient method is based on a triangulation of these radio signals for determining the distance of a user (lateration [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]) or its orientation (angulation [8]) with respect to some fixed points of the surrounding environment [9]. Another solution aims instead at identifying the location of a user by sensing the presence of some identifiers or tags, based for instance on the RFID technology ( [10], [11]), Bluetooth beacons ( [12]), ultrasound ( [13]) and infrared ( [14])). In this case the location of the user can be estimated from known position of the tags, that however have to be installed in the area of interest.…”

The World Health Organization assesses the number of visually impaired people to be nearly 285 million in August 2014, of whom 39 million are blind. One of the most important discomfort factors for these persons is known to be the difficulty in moving and orienting by themselves in unfamiliar surroundings. Nowadays, several devices are currently available for supporting these persons in there everyday life. To this end, the attention in this paper is mainly focused on the localization and navigation in indoor environment. The solution adopted in this paper consists in populating a database of virtual maps, that the user itself contributes to create by exploring the surrounding environment. An inertial platform, represented by a set of sensors (basically accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compass) placed in a device worn by user, is used at the purpose as sensing system. This approach does not require the installation of external equipments since it relies on a smartphone, which is used both as measurement platform and user interface, and, in particular, does not require any a-priori knowledge of the indoor environment. The application will be described in the paper where some experimental preliminary results will also be discussed.This full text paper was peer-reviewed at the direction of IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society prior to the acceptance and publication.978-1-4799-6477-2/15/$31.00 ©2015 IEEE

“…Many blind navigation systems and patents have been proposed that allow integration with public transportation systems [8,9,10]. Considering that a lack of sight makes driving a car and other modes of transportation impossible, public transportation becomes the only option that people who are blind have in order to move from one place to another and perform their daily activities.…”

In order to support access for people who are blind to modes of transportation in the city, it is necessary to design technological tools that allow them to carry out activities safely, autonomously, and functionally. In this context, three mobile orientation and mobility support systems were designed for people who are blind to aid in their effective navigation using various modes of transportation in the city of Santiago, Chile. This work presents the most significant implications of the use of these systems.
