Mysuru is embracing OnBoard technology to help visually impaired passengers. Introduced in July 2025 under the Dhwani Spandana project, this system helps users identify KSRTC bus route numbers. Developed at IIT Delhi, OnBoard uses radio-frequency to connect a handheld user module with bus modules. When users press a button, their device announces the bus route by audio. Around 200 KSRTC buses in Mysuru have this tech installed. The Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement (SVYM) has trained more than 470 visually impaired people to use it. Mr. Ramprasad from SVYM reports 307 have taken their user modules by December 2025. A study with 30 participants showed a 24% drop in needing help from others to find routes within just nine weeks. Youngsters aged 18-30, mainly students and workers, are the top users. More women (39%) use it compared to men (30%). The busiest routes with this tech are 303, 116, 119, 266, and 307 near colleges and hostels. SVYM said, “All users who shared feedback reported reduced dependence and increased confidence in traveling, indicating that OnBoard has significant potential to enhance accessibility for persons with visual impairment using bus services.” Training is a day-long mix of theory and practice, including operating the device and testing from 30 meters using a vehicle equipped with the bus module. The project is funded by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and run by KSRTC, Raised Lines Foundation, SVYM, IIT Delhi, KritiKal Solutions, and the visually impaired community.
