MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641017420 A) filed by Vallurupalli Nageswara Rao Vignana Jyothi Institute Of Engineering And Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Feb. 17, for 'a city-wide iot-enabled smart parking system using vehicle-mounted detection and predictive navigation-based allocation.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. D. Manju; Dr. Thayyaba Khatoon Mohammed; Dr. S. Dhanalakshmi; T. Kavya; and Y. Bhanu Teja.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a city-wide Internet of Things (IoT) enabled smart parking management system that facilitates real-time and predictive availability across urban environments. The system employs a plurality of vehicle-mounted parking detection units equipped with camera modules, edge processing units, positioning modules, and wireless communication modules, enabling vehicles to function as mobile IoT sensing nodes. Visual data captured from parking areas is locally processed to detect parking slot occupancy and is transmitted as geo-tagged parking data through an IoT communication network to a parking intelligence platform. The parking intelligence platform stores real-time and historical parking data, predicts future parking slot availability using predictive analytics, and enforces priority-based parking allocation based on predefined priority metadata. A navigation-integrated user interface presents parking slot information on a map using color-coded indicators representing available, occupied, and soon-to-be-available slots, and supports destination-based parking guidance and advance slot reservation."
