The e-Guia system was developed to assist visually impaired individuals in navigating urban transportation through a mobile application. This innovative tool enhances autonomy and safety by providing users with real-time information about their journey.
The key feature of e-Guia is its ability to notify users when their desired public transport is approaching their stop, up to 100 meters in advance. Additionally, it provides guidance on the entire route, from boarding to the final destination, empowering visually impaired individuals to travel more independently and securely.
The e-Guia operates via a mobile application, utilizing a carefully designed architecture that enables seamless communication between the user, the bus, and a central server. The server receives data from buses and alerts users when their selected transport is nearing the designated stop, ensuring a reliable and user-friendly experience.
