AccessMyPath vs GuideRide

Welcome to the MyPath project. We aim to build an accessible routing and navigation system for wheelchair users to get to their destination from any source location. We achieve this by identifying surface types from user-collected vibrational patterns and subsequently use the surface type and incline information to generate end-to-end personalized accessible routes.

This accessibility-focused ride-hailing assistant is specially designed for visually impaired users, helping them find the correct vehicle in complex travel environments. Key features include: Screen Content Narration: Automatically reads out important information on the screen, such as driver name and vehicle status, so users can access details without looking at the screen. Precise License Plate Recognition: Users can enter a specific license plate number, and the system will only announce relevant vehicle arrival information, reducing distractions during peak times. Color Markers: Users can choose from four high-contrast colors to mark themselves, helping drivers quickly identify them, especially in low-light conditions. Vibration Feedback: In noisy environments, the system provides vibration alerts, ensuring users receive feedback even if they cannot hear the announcements. Through these accessibility-oriented features, we are dedicated to making travel safer and more convenient for visually impaired users. Download now and share your feedback with us!
