Summary:Mobility is an important aspect of life, for day to day responsibilities, taking care of oneself, and for getting through life in general. While most people are blessed with the ability to do so, a few unfortunate ones face a lot of problems, and have to go through life while being assisted in some way or the other by people around them. The main inspiration behind this idea is to minimize the dependability of the visually impaired people, so as to help them move around a little bit easily than usual. This paper proposes a model and a system to navigate through unknown roads with safety and also provides an option of storing the user's location into a cloud for tracking purpose, which could also fight the problem of human trafficking.
