An Enhanced Transportation System for People of Determination.

Visually Impaired Persons (VIPs) have difficulty in recognizing vehicles used for navigation. Additionally, they may not be able to identify the bus to their desired destination. However, the bus bay in which the designated bus stops has not been analyzed in the existing literature. Thus, a guidance system for VIPs that identifies the correct bus for transportation is presented in this paper. Initially, speech data indicating the VIP's destination are pre-processed and converted to text. Next, utilizing the Arctan Gradient-activated Recurrent Neural Network (ArcGRNN) model, the number of bays at the location is detected with the help of a Global Positioning System (GPS), input text, and bay location details. Then, the optimal bay is chosen from the detected bays by utilizing the Experienced Perturbed Bacteria Foraging Triangular Optimization Algorithm (EPBFTOA), and an image of the selected bay is captured and pre-processed. Next, the bus is identified utilizing a You Only Look Once (YOLO) series model. Utilizing the Sub-pixel Shuffling Convoluted Encoder-ArcGRNN Decoder (SSCEAD) framework, the text is detected and segmented for the buses identified in the image. From the segmented output, the text is extracted, based on the destination and route of the bus. Finally, regarding the similarity value with respect to the VIP's destination, a decision is made utilizing the Multi-characteristic Non-linear S-Curve-Fuzzy Rule (MNC-FR). This decision informs the bus conductor about the VIP, such that the bus can be stopped appropriately to pick them up. During testing, the proposed system selected the optimal bay in 247,891 ms, which led to deciding the bus stop for the VIP with a fuzzification time of 34,197 ms. Thus, the proposed model exhibits superior performance over those utilized in prevailing works.
