MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007484 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 26, for 'a system and method for adaptive emergency evacuation control in a built environment.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Santhi K; Mohammed Kaif K; Gowtham S; and Pravin G.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system and method for adaptive emergency evacuation control in a built environment. The system operates through an intelligent closed-loop workflow (100) configured to continuously sense emergency conditions, assess occupant-related risk, determine evacuation control actions, and actively modify environmental conditions during an evacuation. The system comprises an integrated architecture (200) including environmental sensors, occupant monitoring means, an intelligence and control unit, and building subsystems such as ventilation systems and automated access control elements. Evacuation control actions are dynamically determined based on a personalized risk assessment derived from a fusion of emergency condition data and occupant state data, and are coordinated with active control of building infrastructure to modify physical conditions along evacuation paths in real time. The system further performs continuous re-evaluation and re-routing in response to changes in emergency conditions or occupant behavior, thereby enabling adaptive, human-centric evacuation control within the built environment."
