The development of bus detection devices for the blind people using radio frequency applications / Mohd Zikrul Hakim Noor

The thesis outlines the development of bus detection devices for blind people using radio frequency identification technology. The blind uses auditory and tactile clues such as the walking stick also known as white cane in their daily life. The limitation of the walking stick is that a blind person...
