INTELLIGENT WEARABLE TRAVEL AID
DEVICE FOR BLIND PERSON (iSPEC)

PRINCIPAL RESEARCHER
Ir. Ts. Dr. Anuar Bin Mohamed Kassim

INTRODUCTION TO THE INNOVATION
• Most visually impaired persons (VIPs) conventionally use a white cane for travel. However,
the white cane has limited access range because it can only detect the obstacle below the
abdomen level. For VIPs, there are two areas that need protection from obstacles such
as open windows, signboards, back stairs, rear trucks and etc. Therefore, to overcome these
problems, a new intelligent travel aid device has been developed.
• The designed prototype, i-SPEC, imitates the spectacle used by the VIPs. It is the future of
vision that is filled with smart sensors to detect obstacles by applying the non-contact
approach. Finally, the i-SPEC can improve the mobility of the VIPs and increase their quality
of life.
VALUE PROPOSITION
• The developed intelligent wearable device can be used to detect the obstacles that exist at
the head level of the VIPs. The Intelligent Spectacle (i-SPEC) is e quipped with 2 pieces
of time of flight sensors which can detect the obstacles at 4 different directions such as top,
down, left and right.
• This device will warn the visually impaired users of any obstacles by giving an a udio
information on the location of the obstacle and guide them along the way. The sensors can
also detect the obstacle at a wide range which is 150 degrees from the front. The detection
range is from 1.5 metre for each sensor. This is a non-contact method which does not
require the users to touch the object in order for them to detect the different obstacles with
the white cane.
• The spectacle is designed to be very light and easy to wear. The battery is easily
rechargeable by USB docking.
• There are different types of warnings. There is a light for the partially blind. As for the fully blind
and deaf blind, there is audio and vibration by using the bone conduction speaker. By using the
bone conduction speaker, the user can hear the surrounding environment without putting the
headphone into the ear.

SMART METER :
CONSUMER BEHAVIOURAL STUDY

PRINCIPAL RESEARCHER
Dr. Nusaibah binti Mansor

INTRODUCTION TO THE INNOVATION
• Malaysia is one of the earliest adopters of the smart meter when TNB first rolled out smart
meter installation beginning in 2014. Today, more than 1.2 million TNB smart meters have
been installed covering Melaka, Klang Valley, Putrajaya and Shah Alam. The first state tested
for pilot installation is in Melaka and by now has achieved more than 300,000 installations for
residential customers. In 2014, a consumer acceptance and satisfaction study was conducted
on TNB smart meter deployment. However, since the first rollout, a study of consumer
behavioral change has yet to be conducted after the installation.
• Through the advanced metering system in line with the global demand-side management
objectives, the demand response program towards residential consumers will play an
essential role in reducing peak demand and sustaining the electricity supply. Supporting the
price-based program such as time of use tariff or other initiatives requires immediate
response and action to be taken in preparing electricity consumers with the necessary
knowledge on optimal load management. This also ensures the consumers are ready for
varying price signals by TNB in the future.
VALUE PROPOSITION
• Benchmark consumer behavioral change based on developed matrix for future referral.
• Gain insight on perception, experience and usage of Smart Meter features for existing Smart
Meter consumers and expectation of future Smart Meter features.
• Estimation of consumer readiness level of electricity bill saving initiatives through TOU tariff
scheme.
• Assessment of demographic characteristics in consumer behavioral change.
