I want to say sum thing to all of you.
Dear friends,
There is no solution to write platform numbers in brail, because who
will tell us in which place the board has fix,
Because all stations are not same built.
So I would like to suggest,
A beep should be fixing in handicap compartments and also set sum
sound signals for identifications of platform numbers. I think this
will help us more then brail bords.
I have poor knowledge of English so try to understand my thoughts
Regards

>> challenge."
>>      Blind individuals have been driving Virginia Tech's specially
>> equipped dune buggy in parking lots throughout the summer. They have full
>> control of the steering, accelerator, and brakes. They follow computer-
>> generated steering commands, e.g., "two clicks to the right," delivered
>> through headphones. The steering wheel emits an audible click for every
>> five degrees it's turned. A vibrating vest signals the driver to slow or
>> stop. The on-board computer produces directions based on data about the
>> car's surroundings collected by a laser on the front of the car.
>>      The Virginia Tech BDC team used SolidWorks to perfect the design of
>> the roulette-style click wheel. "We used SolidWorks to design numerous
>> concepts for the click wheel's internal mechanisms and to conduct several
>> structured-design reviews," said Wenger. "SolidWorks helped us visualize
>> everyone's ideas, narrow them down, detect interference, and choose the
>> best design. Thanks to the reviews, our consensus design has worked
>> flawlessly from day one." The team also used SolidWorks to design the
>> dashboard panel and battery holder and drive the laser cutting of the
>> parts.

>>                    The Next Frontier: Driving Decisions
>>                                 **********
>>      As wonderful as it is for the blind to drive, the BDC team isn't
>> satisfied. Why should the blind be told how to drive by a computerized
>> master, rather than make driving decisions themselves?
>>      Consequently the next major feature on the BDC vehicle will be a
>> breakthrough device that gives drivers a real-time tactile topographical
>> map of their surroundings so they can make their own decisions on turning,
>> slowing down, or stopping. Through this device, called the AirPix, drivers
>> will detect terrain through their fingertips. AirPix works something like
>> an air hockey table, with pressure being forced upwards through pin holes.
>> Stronger pressures indicate obstacles. The team is using SolidWorks to
>> design that device too.
>>      "SolidWorks has an easy and intuitive user interface that is ideal
>> for concept generation, visualization, and virtual prototyping," said
>> Wenger. "It's making our design decisions much more objective and helping
>> us eliminate errors. Every day we get a little closer to our ultimate
>> goal."
>>      The Virginia Tech Blind Driver Challenge project team consists of
>> twelve mechanical engineering students working under Dr. Dennis Hong in

>> world-renowned Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa). The project is

>> the Blind Jernigan Institute, which is dedicated to helping the blind
>> achieve independence. Virginia Tech was the only organization that dared
