Abstract

        This case study intended to propose an assistive pedestrian system through the use of Arduino UNO as the microcontroller and several electronic components for the actuators and sensors of the prototype. For the sensors, ultrasonic sensors will be used as a proximity sensor to detect if there are pedestrians that need to cross the road and a passive infrared (PIR) is used for motion detection of cards on the road. There are three actuators for this proposed system: speakers, LED, and a micro server motor. These actuators produce sound, light, and motor movements respectively, that intended to alert pedestrians and drivers for a safer pedestrian crossing. This system suits to assist a wide variety of pedestrians including the blind, deaf, and children because of the actuators way of alerting through the sense of hearing, sight, and touch. The proposal in this study includes the circuit design, design illustration, and costs of materials.
