SINGAPORE - Three 19-year-old Ngee Ann Polytechnic students,
Matthew Lee, Kok Jian Yu and Jeremy Lim, have developed a
voice-assisted app called TrAVEl (Travel Assistant for the Visually
Impaired and the Elderly), to help people get from place to place
more easily.
It guides the user throughout his journey, including any change of
buses, by using GPS to track where he is.
He can either say his destination or enter it by text.
The app lets him know when his bus arrives, and gives a running
commentary of the bus stops en route, as well as alerting the
traveller if he needs to change buses.
