MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621007050 A) filed by St. Vincent Pallotti College Of Engineering And Technology, Nagpur, Maharashtra, on Jan. 23, for 'an integrated road roller system with real-time moisture and density monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Kinikar, Ram; and Kshirsagar, Ajinkya Ravi.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is related to an integrated road roller system with real-time moisture and density monitoring. Conventional methods rely on post-compaction testing and manual moisture management, resulting in inconsistent density, material wastage, and increased rework. The disclosed system continuously monitors critical soil parameters, namely Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) and Maximum Dry Density (MDD), directly at the construction site using embedded moisture and density sensing technologies. A central processing unit analyzes real-time sensor data and automatically regulates water application through a precision-controlled spraying mechanism to maintain moisture levels within the optimal range. Simultaneously, the system adaptively manages compaction energy by adjusting roller operating parameters and recovering excess hydraulic energy for reuse. The integrated closed-loop control enables immediate corrective action during compaction, ensuring uniform density and compliance with design specifications."
