MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511131888 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Dec. 26, 2025, for 'gate-less toll collection and vehicular emission monitoring system with automated compliance enforcement.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Asma Fayaz; and Dr. Saboor Fayaz.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a gate-less toll collection and real-time vehicular emission monitoring system that integrates automated payment processing, environmental compliance assessment, and non-intrusive speed regulation. The system eliminates physical toll barriers by employing FASTag readers and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras mounted on overhead gantries for seamless vehicle identification and toll deduction. To maintain consistent sensing accuracy, the roadway includes rumble strips and speed cushions that naturally moderate vehicle speed without requiring stoppage. Infrared and ultraviolet remote sensing units continuously measure exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through the monitoring zone. An edge computing unit performs rapid local processing and transmits validated data to a cloud platform linked with national databases such as VAHAN and pollution control boards. The system enables automated enforcement, reduces congestion, minimizes fuel wastage, and supports scalable, sustainable, and intelligent transport infrastructure."
