MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531134684 A) filed by Amity University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, on Dec. 31, 2025, for 'iot-enabled pothole detection, classification, and navigation integration system with real-time hazard mapping and municipal coordination.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Pallab Banerjee; Dr. Mohit Kumar; Mr. Aman Kumar Mehta; and Mrs. Pallavi Singh.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An IoT-enabled pothole detection and navigation integration system with real-time hazard mapping and municipal coordination, comprises of a vehicle-mounted IoT sensing unit (100) configured to detect road surface anomalies, measure pothole depth, and associate detected events with precise geographic locations. Edge-level processing performed by a local controller (120) enables preliminary event identification prior to transmission through a wireless communication module (118) to a central processing server (104). The central processing server (104) executes real-time analytics and clustering to consolidate multi-vehicle reports, classify potholes into severity levels, and store validated data in a geospatial pothole database (126). Processed hazard information is distributed via an alert broadcast module (128) and a navigation integration module (108) to enable hazard-aware route optimization. A municipal API reporting system (110) facilitates repair coordination and status updates (144), thereby reducing detection latency, improving road safety, and enabling data-driven infrastructure maintenance."
