MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611025726 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on March 5, for 'artificial intelligence-based universal automatic indicator and signaling control system for road vehicles.'
Inventor(s) include Rohit Ranjan; Dr. Meenu Gupta; and Dr. Rakesh Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an artificial intelligence-based universal automatic indicator and signaling control system for road vehicles, capable of autonomously managing turn and hazard indicators. The system integrates a multimodal sensor suite- including steering-angle sensors, inertial measurement units, wheel-speed sensors, GNSS modules, and optional vision sensors-to capture real-time vehicle motion and environmental context. A control unit executes a sensor-fusion algorithm and machine learning-based intent prediction to determine driver maneuvers such as turns, lane changes, U-turns, and emergency stops. A decision and safety layer applies confidence thresholds, hysteresis, and deterministic rules to activate or cancel indicators while prioritizing manual override. The present invention features a universal retrofit hardware interface compatible with two-wheelers, passenger cars, electric vehicles, and commercial vehicles, supporting safe installation without major modifications."
