Systems and methods for directing a vision-impaired user to a vehicle

A method for directing a vision-impaired user to a vehicle comprising:

• receiving a request for the vehicle to arrive at a predetermined location, wherein the vehicle includes a vehicle computing device;
• receiving an indication that the vehicle has arrived at the predetermined location;
• receiving a specific real-time position of the vehicle in the predetermined location;
• determining a route to direct the vision-impaired user to the specific real-time position;
• determining an obstacle along the route;
• creating a revised route to avoid the obstacle;
• and
• providing instructions to traverse the revised route to the specific real-time position.

A system for directing a vision-impaired user to a vehicle comprising:

• an output device for communicating data that is perceptible by a vision impaired user;
• and
• a computing device that is coupled to the output device, the computing device comprising a processor and memory that stores logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to perform at least the following:
• receive an indication that the vehicle has arrived at a predetermined location;
• receive a specific real-time position of the vehicle in the predetermined location from a vehicle computing device of the vehicle;
• determine a route to direct the vision-impaired user to the specific real-time position;
• provide a first instruction for the vision-impaired user to traverse the route to the specific real-time position for output by the output device;
• determine a change of position of the vehicle;
• and
• provide a second instruction for the vision-impaired user to reach the vehicle, according to the change of position.
