Braille bus notification buttons

thingiverse

Making public transportation more accessible for individuals with impaired vision requires a thoughtful approach. Real-time data on map services often falls short, making it harder for visually impaired commuters to navigate. The proposed system addresses this issue by allowing users to select their desired route at the station using a 3D printed button featuring numeric and Braille embossing. Upon successful input, an immediate audio feedback is provided to confirm registration. To ensure seamless service, we've incorporated color-coded LEDs that notify drivers when a vehicle with special needs is approaching. Once the vehicle enters the terminal, the driver can trigger an in-app notification, alerting everyone on board that assistance is available and ensuring a smooth transition for commuters who need it.
