MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641063278 A) filed by Dayananda Sagar College Of Engineering, Bangalore, Karnataka, on May 19, for 'metro-integrated parcel transportation and storage system with electromagnetic tube network.'
Inventor(s) include Anjana U; C V Balaji; Aprameya Bharadwaj; and Dr. Suma V.
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 Parcel System is integrated into the Metro Rail system by using a separate Tube Network that runs alongside of all Metro Tracks. All Parcels are stored in Reusable Standard Boxes (2 Sizes) which will have Digital Displays on them showing Dynamic QR Codes, Embedded RFID Tags, as well as Tamper Detection Sensors. Electromagnetic Propulsion Systems drive Capsules through the Tubes, which can be Bi-Directional, with Time Slot Scheduling and Anti-Collision Management utilizing RFID Technology. At each Station there is an Automated Sorting System that routes the Boxes to designated Storage Lockers. Users can then pick-up their boxes from these storage units by entering the box number and One-Time Password (OTP), at no cost if picked up within 3 days; users will also be charged for longer than 14 day storage. Features such as Entry Screening, CCTV Coverage, Moisture Detection, as well as Complete Audit Logging help to maintain high levels of Security. The entire Parcel System operates without Human Handling during Normal Operation (after Initial Security Screening), utilizes existing Metro Infrastructure to provide Efficient Urban Parcel Delivery, does not utilize Passenger Coaches or take away from Road Use/Congestion/Emissions while offering Convenient Collection Points at Stations throughout the Metro Network."
