Germany has developed “talking” bus stops to help blind people get on the bus

Buses in many cities in Germany have functions to facilitate getting on and off the bus for the disabled, but for people with visual disabilities, taking the bus is still a lot of inconvenience. German researchers used radio frequency identification technology to develop a “talking” bus stop to show the way for blind people on the bus.
The Hamburg Bundeswehr University, which participated in the research and development, issued a press release on the 12th and stated that the principle of letting the bus stop “talk” is actually not complicated: people with visual impairments can carry a radio frequency signal transmitter that is convenient to carry like a key. When approaching a certain bus station, a special computer program will be activated to tell him which station he is currently at, which number of buses he can take here, and when the next bus will come.
Radio frequency identification technology uses radio frequency signals to realize non-contact information transmission through spatial coupling, and recognizes through the transmitted information.
The “Barrier-free Bus Recognition System for the Blind” jointly developed by the Hamburg Bundeswehr University, the Hamburg Association for the Blind and the Hamburg Bus Company will be displayed to the public on the 15th.
