Traditional manual wheelchairs often require assistance from another person, significantly restricting the user's autonomy. Recognizing the need for more independence, this paper introduces an innovative approach to electric wheelchairs by integrating Bluetooth-based mobile application control. This system is designed to empower users by allowing them to control their wheelchairs remotely through a smartphone app, eliminating the need for physical assistance. Our proposed system comprises essential components, including electric motors, rechargeable batteries, an Arduino Uno microcontroller, a motor driver, and a Bluetooth module. The integration of these components allows for seamless communication between the mobile app and the wheelchair, enabling precise and effortless control. The mobile application is a user-friendly interface that allows users to navigate the wheelchair with simple commands, offering a convenient and accessible solution for those with mobility impairments. Experimental results from our study demonstrate the system's reliability and effectiveness, showcasing smooth manoeuvrability and responsive control through the app. This innovative approach to wheelchair mobility not only enhances the physical independence of individuals with disabilities but also fosters a sense of empowerment and self-sufficiency. By integrating modern technology with everyday mobility aids, our system marks a significant leap forward in wheelchair design, promising a future where mobility challenges are met with intelligent, user-centric solutions. This advancement represents a pivotal step toward improving the quality of life for millions who rely on wheelchairs for daily activities.</p> Dattatray G.

This project introduces an innovative and affordable solution utilizing the ESP32 microcontroller and a GPS module to develop a comprehensive real-time school bus tracking system. The system comprises two critical components: a hardware module installed in each bus to collect GPS data and a user-friendly interface accessible to stakeholders via web or mobile platforms. The ESP32, known for its low cost and energy efficiency, works seamlessly with the GPS module to provide accurate and timely location tracking.</p> <p>The collected GPS data is transmitted to a central server and made available to school administrators, transportation staff, and parents in real-time, fostering transparency and communication. This system is designed to enhance safety by allowing parents to monitor their children's bus locations and improve operational efficiency through more effective route planning. By providing real-time updates, the system minimizes the uncertainty often associated with student transportation, enabling quicker responses to delays or emergencies. Ultimately, this project aims to revolutionize school transportation management, ensuring students can travel safely and efficiently while giving parents peace of mind and allowing schools to optimize their transportation resources. With the integration of technology into school transport systems, we can create a more secure and streamlined experience for all involved.</p> Sufiyan Khan, Atharv Sabale, Atharv Bakare, Sanket Bavdhane, Utkarsh Yadav, S.
