MUMBAI, India, April 20 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411075510 A) filed by Chairman, Defence Research And Development Organization, New Delhi, on Oct. 5, 2024, for 'a vehicle assistance system for downhill driving.'
Inventor(s) include Rakesh Kumar Verma; Kameshwar Kumar Mishra; Gorakhnath Tulshiram Kachi; Prathana Kumari; Apeksha Siddhamshittiwar; Sandeep Kaur; Dr. Ramesh Kurva; and Dr. Anil Prasad Dash.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The vehicle assistance system (100) comprises a first sensor (105) connected to a vehicle primary ignition unit (10), a second sensor (110) connected to the vehicle wheel assembly (20), a control unit (115), an auxiliary ignition unit (120) connected to vehicle engine, and an actuating unit (125). The first sensor (105) generates a first sensed signal in an operative configuration of the primary ignition unit (10). The second sensor (110) generates a second sensed signal in an operative configuration of the wheel assembly (20). The control unit (115) receives the signals from the sensors (105, 110), and generates an actuating signal if the second sensed signal is generated in the absence of the first sensed signal. The actuating unit (125) receives the actuating signal, and actuates the auxiliary ignition unit (120) to facilitate combustion in the engine combustion chamber to enable a driver with control of drivability of the vehicle, on the downhill slope."
