MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541126519 A) filed by Karpaga Vinayaga College Of Engineering And Technology; Ms. B. Dhivya; Ms. G. Vinitha; Ms. K Vani Shree; and Ms. S. Gayathri, Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 14, 2025, for 'iot-enabled real-time transport tracking and incident monitoring system.'

Inventor(s) include Karpaga Vinayaga College Engineering And Technology; Ms. B. Dhivya; Ms. G. Vinitha; Ms. K Vani Shree; and Ms. S. Gayathri.

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: "Road transport operations continue to face serious safety and monitoring challenges, with more than 65 % of incidents remaining unreported in real time and over 40 % of fleet operators still relying on manual phone calls or logbooks for incident reporting. In addition, approximately 55 % of operational delays are attributed to the lack of predictive monitoring and unified real-time tracking systems. To address these limitations, the present invention proposes an IoT-enabled real-time transport tracking and incident monitoring system that integrates GPS-based location tracking, sensor-based event detection, cloud-based data processing and automatic alert generation within a unified mobile/web platform. The system continuously monitors vehicle movement and detects abnormal events such as sudden impacts, unauthorised route deviations or emergency situations, and automatically sends real-time notifications to authorised users along with the vehicle's location and event details. Implementation of the proposed system in simulated transport scenarios demonstrated significantly improved response times and increased reporting efficiency, reducing the delay in incident notification by over 75 %, thereby enhancing the overall safety and operational effectiveness of transport fleet management."
