Inspiration

Our inspiration comes from our minds and our eyes, which are aware of the large number of problems and difficulties that the blind and handicapped face daily, and our knowledge of the number of huge accidents that occur daily.

What it does

Safe Street is a mobile application designed to help the blind, the handicapped, and those with weak mental abilities. Its goal is to help them pass the street easily and safely without the need for others' help. Thus, through the application, they can know the street situation Also they will know the color of the traffic light and when to move or stop by using the recorded audio only using their cell phones as shown on the Safe Street website. This web is such a marketing way to resemble how the application will run on a large scale, Street Measurement and Crossing Assistance System is designed to measure the distance of a street and provide audible alerts to pedestrians when it is safe to cross or if there are obstacles in their path. The system utilizes an ultrasonic sensor mounted on pillars along the street and a mobile application to deliver alerts.

How we built it

This website is to show our project idea We see it as the best way to make all the steps we are going to take on the real application clear It is constructed using a platform called Replit based on our knowledge of HTML and CSS, The simulation was done using Tinkercad with Arduino components which are (a breadboard, Arduino uno, resistors, jumper wire, and three LEDs). On a large scale, the Street Measurement and Crossing Assistance System is designed to measure the distance of a street and provide audible alerts to pedestrians when it is safe to cross or if there are obstacles in their path. The system utilizes an ultrasonic sensor mounted on pillars along the street and a mobile application to deliver alerts. The project components on a large scale:

1. Ultrasonic Sensor: An ultrasonic sensor is attached to a column at the beginning of the sidewalk. It measures the distance of the street by emitting ultrasonic waves and calculating the time taken for the waves to bounce back after hitting an obstacle.
2. Mobile Application (ACP): Instead of using Arduino, the system utilizes a mobile application developed using the ACP (Application Control Platform). The application is installed on a user's mobile phone and communicates with the system's sensors to provide audio alerts.

challenges we ran into

Our team contains students from different cities and countries, so it was hard for us to meet and discuss our ideas so, We had to make online meetings using Zoom and WhatsApp. Also, the time was not enough for us to make the application applicable.

accomplishments that we are proud of

We are so proud that each one of us worked hard to finish our project before the deadline Also being under the pressure of the internet connection issues and the electric current was one of the most important things, we are proud that we skipped it successfully.

What we learned

We learned how to deal with each other ideas and thoughts to get the best for our team especially since our team contains students from different cities even if from different countries.

What's next for Safe Street

The next will be to make Safe Street available for everyone all around the world. We will make an application that will be connected to the system sensor (ultrasonic sensor) to provide an audio alert if the ultrasonic waves hit any obstacles and we intend to incorporate voice support for a wide array of languages spoken worldwide.
