MUMBAI, India, Nov. 28 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531109297 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Rourkela, Orissa, on Nov. 11, for 'method and systems for managing parking slot availability.'
Inventor(s) include Kumar, Dr. Arun; Hota, Prof. Lopamudra; Priyadarshini, Ms. Prangya; and Turuk, Prof. Ashok Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 28, under issue no. 48/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Embodiments herein disclose an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based smart parking system (100) employing a three-tier architecture integrating sensors, cameras, Onboard Units (OBUs) in parked vehicles, a Roadside unit (RSU), and a cloud layer to address urban parking challenges. Real-time parking data is captured by sensors and cameras and processed locally at the edge using Convolution Neural Network (CNN) models to detect vacant parking slots and identify accident events, enabling instant parking guidance without relying on centralized control. Historical parking data combined with external factors is analyzed in the cloud using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models to forecast future parking occupancy. A mobile and web-based application provides real-time availability updates, predictive occupancy insights, and supports slot reservations. The decentralized method reduces latency, network congestion, and supports slot reservations. The system (100) enhances parking efficiency, reduces search time, fuel consumption, and emissions, and is scalable for varied urban environments including on-street, multi-level, and commercial facilities."
