It is difficult to move with the mechanical wheel chair in the surrounding. So that, we have made it automated as Smart Wheel Chair.
In this technology, the Wheel Chair is totally operated on touch screen using microcontroller and other external accessories.
It is very beneficial to the handicap person to move on the right path without any interruption that he choose.
I NTRODUCTI ON In the technologically developing world patients with some cognitive disabilities and impairment must be provided with smart wheelchair systems for their easy navigation and safety.
The ability to choose between manual operating mode and predefined operating mode uniquely presents capacity of the wheelchair to operate in multiple environments.
Some patients which cannot manipulate the wheelchair with their arms due to a lack of force face major problems such as orientation, mobility, safety.
This is unthinkable thing that handicap person move without the wheel chair where as it is difficult to move with the mechanical wheel-chair in the surrounding. With the increase of elderly and disabled people, a wide range of support devices and modern equipment has been developed to help improve their quality of life. This system provides the touch screen on the right hand side of the based wheel chair which having operating screen with adjusting key settings which is easy to understand and operate.

IR SENSOR Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices, such as automobile engine control systems, implantable medical devices, remote controls, office machines, appliances, power tools, toys and other embedded system.
The AT89S52 is a low-voltage, high-performance CMOS 8-bit microcomputer with 2K Bytes of Flash programmable and erasable read only memory (PEROM).
The Atmel AT89S52 is a powerful microcomputer which provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.
The microcontroller forms the heart of the this technology. The microcontroller takes care of the control, sequencing, monitoring and display functions.
The touch screen is an electronic visual display that can detect the presence and location of a touch within the display area.
It is sensitive to the touch of human finger, hand and passive objects like stylus.
It is a two-dimensional sensing device, which is made of two sheets of material separated by small spacers.
TYPES OF TOUCH SCREEN Resistive Touch Screen: It consists of a flexible top layer made up of polyethylene and rigid bottom layer made of glass. Both the layer coated with a conducting compound of Indium Tin Oxide and then spaced with spacers. When the monitor is operational an electric current flows between the two layers.
Capacitive Touch Screen: It consists of a glass panel coated with Indium Tin Oxide. A capacitive system transmit almost 90 percent of light from the monitor. In this screen, only one side of the insulator is coated with a conducting layer.
Surface Acoustic Wave Touch Screen: It contains two transducers (transmitting and receiving) placed along the x- axis and y-axis of the monitor glass plates along with some reflectors. The wave propagates across the glass and reflect back to the sensor.
The resistive touch-screen used in this project. It consists of a flexible top layer made of polyethylene and rigid bottom layer made of glass. Both the layer are coated with a conducting compound of indium-tin oxide(ITO) and then spaced with spacers. The 2 sheet are coated with a resistive substance, usually a metal compound called Indium Tin oxide (ITO). The ITO is thinly and uniformly sputtered onto both the glass and the PET layer. Tiny bumps called spacer dots are then added to the glass side, on the top of the resistive ITO coating, to keep the PET film from sagging, causing of false touch. When a touch is made then the flexible screen presses down to touch the bottom layer. A change in electrical current is hence detected and the coordinates of the touch point are calculated by the controller and pressed into readable signals for the operating system to react accordingly.
An RF module is the Radio Frequency Module. It is a small electronic device used to transmit and to receive radio signals between two devices.
RF modules are widely used in electronic design owing to the difficulty of designing radio circuitry and the manufacturing process to ensure that the RF performance is not adversely affected.
APPLICATIONS: In Wireless security systems. In Car Alarm systems. In Remote controls. In Sensor reporting. In Automation systems. TRANSMITTER: An RF Transmitter Module is four pin small PCB sub-assemblies capable of transmitting a radio wave and modulating that wave to carry data. The ST-TX01-ASK is an ASK Hybrid transmitter module.
RECEIVER: An RF Receiver module is eight pin small pin assemblies capable of receiving the modulated RF signal and demodulates it. The ST-RX02-ASK is an ASK Hybrid receiver module. MCP3202 is a successive approximation 12-bit. Analog-to- Digital (A/D) Converter with on-board sample and hold circuitry. The MCP3202 is offered in 8-pin PDIP, TSSOP and 150mil SOIC packages.

The IR sensor present at the based of wheel chair emits IR signals continuously in all possible direction.
If any obstacle comes in the path of wheel chair then these IR signals are obstructed from it and reflected back. Which gives chance to wheel chair to change its path.
The DC motors is used in this project for movement of the wheel chair in all possible direction. Not only in Forward, Reverse, Left, and Right Directions but also clockwise and anticlockwise directions. The DC motors is couple to the dual bridge driver IC L298 which is controlled by the Microcontroller with the help of Resistive Touch Screen. L293D is a dual H-bridge motor driver, so with one IC we can interface two motors that can interface two DC motors that can be controlled in both clockwise and counter clockwise direction and fix direction of motion.
TRANSMI TTER SECTI ON: When we have touched to Resistive touch screen in different portion and then we get different value. The output of touch screen connected with ADC. The ADC will convert this analog information into Digital data and then it is apply to microcontroller. The microcontroller takes care of the control, sequencing, monitoring and display functions. Through RF module touch screen information will be send to receiver RF module and according to it device will be ON/OFF. Motor driver is interface two DC motors that can be controlled in both clockwise and counter clockwise direction and fix direction of motion.
RECEI VER SECTI ON:
The signal coming from the transmitter section is captured by the RF Module through the media. The Decoder decodes the entire information send by the transmitter section and this decoded massage send to the microcontroller. The microcontroller captures this information which is connected to the RF Module through the decoder. As per the software design the microcontroller operate on it. The Mechanical relays used to interface the microcontroller with high power devices. This relays used to ON/OFF the Device.
This technique can easily build on any wheel chair that we want to make it automated. The speed and direction of which can be controlled from a touch screen. It is very beneficial to the handicap person to move on the right path without any interruption that he choose. The external technical kit that can easily repair if some sort of problems comes in the circuitry. This technique easy to handle and understand which reduces manpower. It is less complex, highly accurate and economical.
The handicap persons present in the Hospitals, Old age home centers, home, school, collages and any other places can used this wheel chair.
The ill, injured or disabled can also used this wheel chair.
We have described the system which is driven by the touch screen and advanced algorithm. Though we are mainly focusing on touch screen based system interface, further advancements can be done through more research.
The interface and software can be modified and redeveloped according to the level of disability of the patient.
With the increase of elderly and disabled people, a wide range of support devices and modern equipment has been developed to help improve their quality of life.
This project can be extended to various application areas.
This project is not only applicable for handicap person but also for the peoples who are not physically stand properly.
This can be developed with Voice operated, Eye sensing and highly sensitive Resistive touch screen and modern technology.
