As technology advances, many challenges faced by individuals can be addressed. One such challenge is the difficulty faced by people with blindness in traveling safely. For them, navigating the world is a significant concern. To address this, an intelligent electric vehicle is needed. This vehicle integrates a variety of technologies, such as ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection, edge and road recognition, and infrared-based obstacle avoidance, GPS and map-guided location assistance, GSM-based emergency support, and a semi-automatic control system for operation. We propose a fully intelligent electric vehicle designed specifically for the blind, which can be successfully implemented. The vehicle is built to navigate footpaths and follow all traffic signals, ensuring its practicality in real-world scenarios. The development of an automatic solar-driven rickshaw for blind people aims to improve the mobility and independence of visually impaired individuals by combining renewable energy with advanced assistive technology. This system integrates a solar-powered electric motor with an autonomous navigation system, providing an eco-friendly and self-driving transportation solution. The rickshaw is equipped with sensors, including ultrasonic, GPS, and obstacle detection technology, allowing it to navigate safely and efficiently in various environments. Additionally, a voice-assisted interface guides the user to the desired location, offering a seamless experience without the need for manual operation or external assistance. By utilizing solar energy, the rickshaw ensures sustainability and reduces operational costs. This innovation addresses the unique transportation challenges faced by blind individuals, promoting inclusivity and autonomy in daily life while contributing to environmental sustainability.
