MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641021723 A) filed by Sri Sairam Institute Of Technology; Shanthi N; Sivarooban B; Heymenth R; and Goutham L, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Feb. 24, for 'ai ml based road traffic maintenance system.'
Inventor(s) include Shanthi N; Sivarooban B; Heymenth R; and Goutham L.
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: "AI-ML BASED ROAD TRAFFIC MAINTENANCE SYSTEM is an intelligent traffic management solution designed to address the increasing challenges of urban traffic congestion, long waiting times, and delayed emergency response. The system integrates CCTV-based computer vision, edge AI processing, and loT -enabled signal control to monitor traffic conditions in real time and dynamically optimize traffic signal operations. The system operates through a prioritized three-stage workflow that first detects and provides immediate right-of-way for emergency vehicles, then analyzes lane-wise vehicle waiting time, and fmally evaluates congestion levels to adapt signal durations accordingly. By eliminating fixed-time signaling and human intervention, the system ensures efficient traffic flow, reduced delays, and improved road safety. Real-time data processing enables quick decision-making at intersections, while loT connectivity supports continuous monitoring and future integration with smart city infrastructure. This system presents a scalable, automated, and future-ready approach to intelligent traffic maintenance suitable for modern urban environments and developing regions alike."
