Abstract: The rapid advancement of ride-hailing services has transformed urban transportation; however, these systems remain largely inaccessible to visually impaired individuals due to their dependence on visual interfaces and touch-based interactions. This invention proposes a Smart IoT-Based Voice-Driven Ride-Hailing System (VoiceRide) that delivers a fully accessible, hands-free, intelligent, and safety-enhanced mobility solution tailored specifically for visually challenged users.The system enables users to book, manage, and track rides entirely through voice commands, utilizing Speech-to-Text (STT), Text-to-Speech (TTS), and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies for seamless interaction. It provides real-time audio feedback regarding driver location, estimated arrival time, and ride status, thereby eliminating the need for visual monitoring.To further enhance safety and usability, the system integrates advanced intelligent modules such as a computer vision-based traffic signal detection system, enabling
