Malar; and K Gayathri Devi, Kinathukadavu, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 6, for 'iot-enabled smart transportation system with health-gated access control and integrated emergency response.'
Inventor(s) include G Sekar; A Anandkumar; R Swaranambigai; S K Kabilesh; T Mani; K. Dinakaran; M. Malar; K Gayathri Devi; and P Nithya.
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: "The IoT-Enabled Smart Bus system ensures public transportation safety during infectious disease outbreaks by screening passengers before boarding. An RFID reader identifies individuals while a temperature sensor measures their body temperature; the bus door unlocks only if the temperature remains below a threshold (e.g., 37 C), with data logged to an IoT cloud server alongside passenger count. Abnormal temperatures trigger SMS alerts via GSM to the passenger's mobile, while onboard vibration and fire sensors detect breakdowns, accidents, or fires and notify the control room with GPS location, enabling rapid response from nearby hospitals and fire services. This Arduino-interfaced solution extends to theaters and shopping malls for capacity and health monitoring per government guidelines."
