Transportation is one of the major aspect in a Smart City design which could be <br /> <br /> <br /> implemented by applying technology to improve facilities, providing convenience <br /> <br /> <br /> and friendly to its users. Blind persons is one part of the disability in our community <br /> <br /> <br /> who has limited access to transport facilities. Bandung city is currently one of the <br /> <br /> <br /> smart city bearer, but the provision of these smart facilities is still concentrate to the <br /> <br /> <br /> non-disability user. On the field of bus transportation, the bus stop do not have any <br /> <br /> <br /> facility to support disables. For blind person, it is difficult to know the arrival and <br /> <br /> <br /> identity of the bus coming. <br /> <br /> <br /> Bus identification and notification system at bus stops for visually impaired based on <br /> <br /> <br /> RF technology consists of 3 parts of equipment, namely bus equipment, bus stop <br /> <br /> <br /> devices and blind devices. The bus stop device detects the arrival and identity of the <br /> <br /> <br /> incoming bus and can be issued in the form of sound. The blind presence detection <br /> <br /> <br /> system is implemented to help bus drivers know the blind presence at the bus stop in <br /> <br /> <br /> the form of LCD display. Blind devices give notification to the blind in sound signal <br /> <br /> <br /> whenever he entered the shelter area. <br /> <br /> <br /> Based on testing, blind person was detected at a distance of 10 meters around bus <br /> <br /> <br /> stop area while the bus began detected from a distance of more 60 meters at free area <br /> <br /> <br /> and 10 meters for medium setting at actual simulation around the bus stop. The <br /> <br /> <br /> arrival notification and bus identity are displayed in repetitive verbal form with a <br /> <br /> <br /> delay of 10 seconds.
