Blind’s Eye: Employing Google Directions API for Outdoor Navigation of Visually Impaired Pedestrians

Abstract

La visión juega un papel primordial en nuestra vida cotidiana y ayuda a los humanos en casi todos los ámbitos de la vida. Las personas que carecen de sentido de la visión requieren asistencia para moverse libremente. La incapacidad de navegación y orientación sin asistencia en entornos al aire libre es una de las limitaciones más importantes para las personas con discapacidad visual. Motivados por este problema, desarrollamos un sistema de navegación simplificado y fácil de usar que permite a los peatones con discapacidad visual llegar a la ubicación exterior deseada. Diseñamos un teclado Braille para permitir que el usuario ciego introduzca su destino. El sistema propuesto hace uso de Google Directions API (Application Program Interface) para generar el camino correcto a un destino. Los peatones con discapacidad visual tienen que usar un cinturón de vibración para mantenerlos en la pista. La evaluación expone las deficiencias de la API de Google Directions cuando se utiliza para navegar a los peatones con discapacidad visual en un entorno al aire libre.

La vision joue un rôle primordial dans notre vie quotidienne et aide l'homme dans presque tous les domaines de la vie. Les personnes dépourvues de sens de la vision ont besoin d'aide pour se déplacer librement. L'incapacité de navigation et d'orientation sans assistance dans les environnements extérieurs est l'une des contraintes les plus importantes pour les personnes ayant une déficience visuelle. Motivés par ce problème, nous avons développé un système de navigation simplifié et convivial qui permet aux piétons malvoyants d'atteindre l'emplacement extérieur souhaité. Nous avons conçu un clavier braille pour permettre à l'utilisateur aveugle de saisir sa destination. Le système proposé utilise l'API Google Directions (Application Program Interface) pour générer le bon chemin vers une destination. Les piétons malvoyants doivent porter une ceinture vibrante pour rester sur la piste. L'évaluation expose les lacunes de l'API Google Directions lorsqu'elle est utilisée pour la navigation des piétons malvoyants dans un environnement extérieur.

Vision plays a paramount role in our everyday life and assists human in almost every walk of life. The people lacking vision sense require assistance to move freely. The inability of unassisted navigation and orientation in outdoor environments is one of the most important constraints for people with visual impairment. Motivated by this problem, we developed a simplified and user friendly navigation system that allows visually impaired pedestrians to reach their desired outdoor location. We designed a Braille keyboard to allow the blind user to input their destination. The proposed system makes use of Google Directions API (Application Program Interface) to generate the right path to a destination. The visually impaired pedestrians have to wear a vibration belt to keep them on the track. The evaluation exposes shortcomings of Google Directions API when used for navigating the visually impaired pedestrians in an outdoor environment.

تلعب الرؤية دورًا مهمًا في حياتنا اليومية وتساعد الإنسان في كل مناحي الحياة تقريبًا. يحتاج الأشخاص الذين يفتقرون إلى حاسة البصر إلى المساعدة للتنقل بحرية. يعد عدم القدرة على التنقل والتوجيه دون مساعدة في البيئات الخارجية أحد أهم القيود التي يواجهها الأشخاص الذين يعانون من إعاقة بصرية. بدافع من هذه المشكلة، قمنا بتطوير نظام ملاحة مبسط وسهل الاستخدام يسمح للمشاة ضعاف البصر بالوصول إلى موقعهم الخارجي المطلوب. لقد صممنا لوحة مفاتيح بطريقة برايل للسماح للمكفوفين بإدخال وجهتهم. يستخدم النظام المقترح واجهة برمجة تطبيقات Google Directions (واجهة برنامج التطبيق) لإنشاء المسار الصحيح إلى الوجهة. يجب على المشاة ضعاف البصر ارتداء حزام اهتزاز لإبقائهم على المسار. يكشف التقييم عن أوجه القصور في واجهة برمجة تطبيقات Google Directions عند استخدامها للتنقل بين المشاة ضعاف البصر في بيئة خارجية.
