Abstract
Today innovation is enhancing every day in various viewpoints so as to give adaptable and safe development to the general population. Outwardly disabled individuals discover troubles recognizing obstacles before them, amid strolling in the road, which makes it unsafe. The smart cane has a system that empower them to see and differentiate the obstacles. Moving with the assistance of a white cane is a slippery errand for the outwardly tested. The smart cane is equipped with infrared and ultrasonic sensor that helps in detecting the obstacles. At the base of the smart cane there is a water sensor which detects and dodges puddles. When it recognizes any obstacle, it activates the sound system and the vibration motor. On detecting obstructions the sensor passes this information to the micro-controller. The micro-controller then procedures this information and computes if the object is sufficiently close. In the event that the object is not that close the circuit does nothing. In the event that the object is close the micro-controller sends a signal to sound a buzzer. GPS system provides the information about the current location in case of an emergency.
