V. Garaj, F. Cecelja and W. Balachandran

Abstract:	This paper presents the design concept of the Brunel Navigation System for Blind that is being developed at Systems Engineering Department of Brunel University, United Kingdom. The main aim of the system is to provide alternative navigation assistance to the blind and visually impaired users. In contrast to similar navigation systems for blind that may be described as autonomous, this system is based on centralised architecture concept. Due to the different architecture, improvements will be made in comparison to other systems, mainly in the field of user interface, hence system usability. The description of the system architecture and the functionality is reported in this paper.
