MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541125018 A) filed by Mr. Prasanna D; Mr. Rahul A N; Mr. Sundar Chouhan R K; and Dr. Vimal Kannan I, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 11, 2025, for 'blind spot detection system for commercial vehicles using low-cost sensors.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Prasanna D; Mr. Rahul A N; Mr. Sundar Chouhan R K; and Dr. Vimal Kannan I.
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 affordable blind spot detection system for commercial vehicles that uses low-cost sensors and simple alerts to improve road safety. One or more ultrasonic sensors are mounted on the sides or rear of a truck or lorry and are connected to a microcontroller unit, such as an Arduino board, that continuously measures the distance to nearby objects. When an object is detected within a predetermined threshold in the blind-spot region, the controller activates an audible buzzer and at least one LED indicator near the driver to provide an intuitive warning. The system can be retrofitted on existing vehicles, operates from the vehicle electrical supply, and is optimised for low power consumption and minimal maintenance. By combining inexpensive components with tailored detection logic, the system offers a cost-effective alternative to radar or camera based blind spot monitoring solutions. The invention is particularly suited to lorries and trucks."
