All aboard

Computer vision to help blind people find bus stops.

Because of lack of pinpoint accuracy and localization errors in maps, GPS turn-by-turn navigation might not guide blind people to arrive the precise locations of bus stops. Merely 30 feet may be large enough to make them miss the buses entirely.

All Aboard app uses camera to help blind people find bus stop signs in the vicinity. Use smartphone camera to scan surrounding. If there is one, All Aboard will inform users how far away the bus stop sign is using auditory cues.

All Aboard can recognize bus stop signs in the following regions.

Massachusetts MBTA

New York City MTA

California AC Transit

Chicago CTA

Los Angeles Metro

Seattle Metro

Washington DC Metrobus

Toronto TTC

London bus services

Germany bus and tram
