MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641063529 A) filed by Dayananda Sagar College Of Engineering, Bangalore, Karnataka, on May 20, for 'hybrid emergency beacon and cooperative traffic clearance system for predictive ambulance corridor formation.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Venkatesh Babu K P; Mr. Nitheesh Kumar B S; Dr. Swaraj Dominic Lewis; Mr. Radhakrishna; and Mr. Nandan B K.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention reveals a hybrid emergency vehicle detection and cooperative traffic clearance mechanism that is aimed at offering an experimental or forecastive continuous right-of-way pathway to ambulances and other priority cars. It combines an Emergency Beacon Module (EBM) that is a low-cost component in emergency cars with a roadside of multi-modal sensors, such as audio-based siren sensors, Bluetooth/LoRa receivers, and optional crowdsourcing confirmation of connected user devices. These heterogeneous inputs are processed using a cloud-assisted computation engine to obtain a dynamic confidence model of emergency vehicle presence, direction, and estimated aircraft time. The system uses this information to send coordinated messages to retrofit capable traffic controllers, allowing them to control signal timing intervals, and to the vehicles adjacent to them, which undertake micro-manoeuvrers based on a common clearance behavior protocol. The invention also facilitates deployment that is agreeable to the policy by upgrading the infrastructure on a scalable level and end-nationwide communications systems. The system is collectively cost-effective, reliable and adaptive emergency corridor that greatly minimizes the time delays in response, optimizes traffic flow and boosts the safety of the population in varied road conditions."
