Abstract

In this paper, the monitoring system of an integrated environment that improves the mobility of blind persons into a limited area is presented. The proposed solution is capable to track the movement of a group of visually impaired, each of them moving on a specified pathway, in order to reach the desired target. A Service Center (SC) acquires the actual position of each subject, determined by a GPS system, using a GSM/GPRS communication system. The same unit checks, than that the movement of all subjects to the target is in progress and no dynamically changing of environment or even case of emergencies occurred. The obtained results and further developments are, also presented.
