Innovative Design of Intelligent Health Equipment for Helping the Blind in Smart City

The rapid advancement of information technology in today's modern society is contributing to an increase in the general degree of civilization in society. People are pleased with technological progress, but they are also becoming more aware that a major challenge confronting the advancement of social civilization at the moment is determining how to alleviate the difficulties associated with traveling and participating in social activities for the blind, as well as increasing the frequency with which they go out, travel, and participate in other activities. The blindness equipment that is now accessible in China is no longer suitable to meet the needs of blind people, but the growth of smart cities offers an opportunity to change this. Guide devices are crucial among the numerous types of equipment to assist the blind, and in order to better fulfill their various demands, we must upgrade and optimize the existing devices. The Chinese People's Daily highlights some of the key barriers to blind people's access in its 2019 article: random parking that blocks blind lanes; and “snake” and “broken” blind lanes that are not created with blind people's access in mind. In a smart city, accurate placement via smart maps helps alleviate a number of traffic-related issues for blind individuals. In this paper, we propose an intelligent guide device and interactive software to provide a more intelligent way for blind people to travel, which can effectively improve blind people's traffic conditions and make their travel easy, convenient, and safe, reflecting society's concern for blind people.
