Development of the Mobile Application Functionality for Providing Information Services to Visually Impaired People in Traffic

Kvaliteta života osoba s različitim oblicima invaliditeta može se poboljšati primjenom odgovarajuće pomoćne tehnologije. Provođenjem analize zahtjeva korisnika te definiranjem funkcionalnosti, moguće je razviti nove usluge informiranja korisnika u javnom gradskom prijevozu. Povezivanjem Cloud Computing for Blind i IoT tehnologije nastoji se zadovoljiti potreba osoba oštećenog vida za pristupačnim i jednostavnim rješenjem. Slijepim i slabovidnim osobama je potrebno omogućiti korištenje pouzdanog rješenja te sigurnost i samostalnost dok se osoba nalazi u prometu. Rješenje u obliku mobilne aplikacije omogućuje korisniku primanje točnih informacija u stvarnom vremenu koje se prikupljaju iz više modova prometa.The quality of life of people with various forms of disability can be improved by applying appropriate assistive technology. By conducting an analysis of user requirements and defining functionality, it is possible to develop new user informing services in public transport. Combining Cloud Computing for Blind and IoT technology tries to satisfy the needs of visually impaired people for an accessible and simple solution. It is necessary to enable blind and visually impaired persons to use a reliable solution as well as enable safety and independence while the person is in traffic. The mobile application solution allows the user to receive accurate real-time information collected from multiple traffic modes
