ROUTE-PLANNING MOBILITY SYSTEM FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED

A computer-implemented method includes (i) determining, via location data, a current location of a user, (ii) determining, via the location data, a start location of a user device based on the current location and a destination location of the user device and based on a user input, (iii) identifying, via a pedestrian route planner of a route planning application in communication with a navigation system, a pedestrian route between the start location and the destination location, (iv) identifying, via the navigation system, waypoints between the start location and the destination location, (v) transmitting the pedestrian route to the user device, (vi) issuing, via the route planning application, at least one of i) a haptic feedback protocol and ii) an auditory feedback protocol associated with the waypoints, (vii) receiving, from the user device, pedestrian route data, and (viii) processing the pedestrian route data to determine user behavior.
