Voice Controlled Intelligent Vehicle for Physically Handicapped Drivers

Abstract

This paper describes the design of a low cost control system of a vehicle that can be used by for drivers who are unable to use their arms nor legs to drive a vehicle. In this control system, the data acquisition and processing platform are provided by the human sensors and brain.  The control signal, generated by the human brain, is conveyed to the vehicle using voice commands. Safety sensors are also included as part of the control system to ensure obstacle avoidance, smooth turns, and prevention of hitting other vehicles on the road as well as colliding other vehicles.
