This paper proposed the U-bus system design based on Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for blind people. This system has two main parts. First part is blind people recognition. Another part is communication between a bus and bus station. Blind people recognition part is constructed simple device and system. This part decides existing or non-existing of the blind at bus station. And then if pre-process recognize blind people, the bus station will communicate the bus. The authors make up the announcement system about arrived bus information for the blind people using these parts. This announcement about arrived bus is very useful to blind people for taking the bus.
