MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621004153 A) filed by Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute Of Technology, Surat, Gujarat, on Jan. 15, for 'a self-powered vehicle tracking system for anti-theft monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Shwetashah; Darshan K Nathvani; and Sheetaltanna.
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: "A self-powered vehicle tracking system (100) is disclosed for robust anti-theft monitoring in GPS-available and GPS-denied environments. The system integrates a multi-constellation GNSS receiver (101) supporting GPS and NavIC, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) (102) comprising a 6-axis accelerometer and gyroscope for dead-reckoning navigation during GNSS loss. A data fusion module (103) employs a Kalman filter to integrate GNSS and IMU data, minimizing drift. Real-time tracking and alerts are transmitted via a 4G/5G cellular module (104), which also supports triangulation during GNSS outages. The system is powered independently by a rechargeable battery or energy-harvesting module (106), enabling covert, tamper-resistant operation. Additional features include environmental sensors (107) for enhanced altitude estimation, server-side trajectory correction (108), and future-ready network compatibility. Designed for harsh environments (-30 C to +70 C, IP67-IP69K), the system delivers alerts with sub-5-second latency via a mobile app (109) or cloud server (105), ensuring continuous and resilient vehicle tracking."
