| Summary, etc. |
The problem of heavy traffic in urban areas in the Philippines is especially<br/>problematic for visually impaired individuals, given the limitations of white canes, which<br/>can only be used for close-range ascertaining of spatial obstacles. This study addresses the<br/>gap by proposing a GPS-enabled radar smart cane with YOLOv8 object detection on Jetson<br/>Nano, enabling autonomy and enhanced situational awareness in outdoor settings. The<br/>system provides tracking in motion in real-time with Neo-6M GPS for location, obstacle<br/>detection with RCWL-0516 radar, and detection and classification of stationary and<br/>moving public utility vehicles (PUVs) using a custom-trained YOLOv8 model. To further<br/>improve usability, the smart cane is designed with dual feedback mechanisms; audio alerts<br/>for object detection are spoken through wireless earphones, while haptic feedback from a<br/>vibrating handle gives cues for physical obstacles identified by the radar sensor. Training<br/>results of the YOLOv8 model showed a 92.9% [email protected] detection accuracy. The runtime<br/>was also estimated when using a 20000mAh power bank to be 5.73 hours. In The User<br/>Evaluation with 13 visually impaired participants, average ratings were high: 4.4 for<br/>Functionality and Efficiency, 4.21 for Usability and Aesthetics, 4.23 for Mobility and<br/>Maintainability, and 4.29 for Safety and Reliability. This strongly suggests that the smart<br/>cane is very reliable in providing real-time alerts and navigation support greatly enhancing<br/>the user’s safety, mobility, and independence. |
