MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541124132 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 9, 2025, for 'adaptive rf-based automatic horn control system for no-honking zones.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Sharmiladevi D; Mr. Manickavel G; Mr. Nishanth G; Dr. Senthil Vadivu M; and Dr. Jamuna Rani M.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an adaptive vehicle horn control system configured to automatically regulate horn operation in designated no-honking zones to reduce noise pollution. The system comprises a zone-side RF transmitter that emits a secure, encoded radio-frequency signal and a vehicle-mounted RF receiver coupled to a decoder and control module. Upon detection and authentication of the transmitted signal, the control module generates a relay-control output that actuates a relay driver to interrupt the horn circuit, thereby disabling the horn. An indicator provides visual or audible feedback to the driver when horn operation is restricted. When the vehicle exits the no-honking zone, the control module automatically restores horn functionality. The invention provides a low-cost, reliable, hardware-based solution requiring no GPS, satellite, or internet connectivity, is suitable for retrofit in various vehicle types, and ensures automatic, fail-safe horn control, contributing to effective noise reduction in sensitive areas."
