MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621032690 A) filed by Sanjivani Bharat Adsul; Prakash Mali; Kajal Adsul; Kaivalya Lakhakar; Jagruti Kakad; Swami Kaklij; and Sangram Kale, Pune, Maharashtra, on March 18, for 'intelligent traffic management system using sensors for adaptive signal control.'
Inventor(s) include Sanjivani Bharat Adsul; Prakash Mali; Kajal Adsul; Kaivalya Lakhakar; Jagruti Kakad; Swami Kaklij; and Sangram Kale.
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 present invention relates to a smart traffic management system developed to improve traffic flow and increase safety at road intersections. The system uses traffic density sensors to detect the number of vehicles on different roads approaching a junction. Based on the detected traffic density, a microcontroller automatically adjusts the timing of traffic signals. Roads with higher traffic density are given a longer green signal, while roads with fewer vehicles receive a shorter green signal. This helps reduce unnecessary waiting time and improves the overall movement of vehicles. To further improve traffic discipline, the system also includes an automated barrier mechanism controlled by a servo motor. When the traffic signal turns red, the barrier closes to prevent vehicles from crossing the intersection. When the signal turns green, the barrier opens and allows vehicles to move forward. This system helps reduce traffic congestion, minimize fuel wastage caused by idle vehicles, and improve road safety. The proposed solution is simple, cost-effective, and suitable for use in modern smart city traffic management systems."
