Purpose of the development: Designed for the visually impaired.

Recommended application field: The application areas are: the establishment of social protection of the population and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.

Technical characteristic: Main technical characteristics: - Distance operation, m 1; - Working near infrared region; - Supply voltage, 9; - Current consumption mA 20; - Weight, 400 g; - Dimensions of optoelectronic devices 100x30x20 mm.

Advantages over analogues: The comparative analysis made on the basis of patent search showed that analogues solutions spatial orientation of visually impaired people are not universal. Lapel locator determines the distance only to vertical obstacles. Designed stick definition differs pedestrian barriers of different types of optical-electronic method in one unit, ie, Universal device and improve the adaptation of visually impaired due to a combination of contact and remote control methods en route. To patent the net result a novel method for determining the pedestrian barriers with a stick. Competitiveness has a number of effective systems engineering solutions that underpin the work of the stick. Technical and economic characteristics make it globally competitive devices similar purpose.

The development stage readiness: tested in laboratory condition

Technical and economic effect: Economic benefits are based on the use for the manufacture of the device resources of Ukraine, the lack of precious materials, low time consuming. Production devices do not need valuable and specialized equipment, there is an environmentally friendly and not energy-intensive. The estimated cost of a single device with serial 1000 pieces. 200 UAH.

Description of the development:
()
Multifunctional optoelectronic stick remotely-contact method examines the state of the path reveals three types of pedestrian barriers, provides a complete analysis of the conditions of movement of the visually impaired and solves the problem of the spatial orientation of the user. The optoelectronic device stick works in the spectral region that is safe for the user. Stick determines during movement aerial obstacles in the form of speeches, walls, curbs, rods and the like, and water obstacles that are larger than 5 cm. The information was communicated to the user obstacles beeper different tonality. Research conducted field tests of the sample sticks to UTOS Odessa.
