Abstract: Abstract Blindness is the complete or partial loss of vision. It has dramatic impacts on individuals experiencing such disabilities, affecting the quality of life and holds backs them from performing many of their day to activities. It can last for years or lifelong. There are different forms of surgery can help, but sometimes no treatment is available. This paper presents a system concept to provide a smart electronic travelling aid for blind people. The system is intended to help blind people with a navigation assistant. This consists of obstacle detector, voice commands, location tracker and power backup unit. The assistive system helps the blind to find obstacle free path based on the voice commands. With the push of an emergency button, the blind person can inform his caretaker in case of emergencies. The main aim of this research work is to provide a better solution regarding navigation system for blind people with all the mentioned functions.
