MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631003620 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Patna, Bihar, on Jan. 13, for 'multi-dimensional safety perception assessment system for public spaces.'

Inventor(s) include Raina, Shanu; and Mandal, Shailendra K.

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 present disclosure provides a system (100) for assessing perception of safety in public spaces and a method (200) for multi-dimensional safety evaluation. The system (100) includes a data collection unit (102) with survey devices (102-2), spatial mapping tools (102-4), and observation instruments (102-6) coordinated by a processor (108) executing categorization through a categorizer (110) and weight assignment through a weight assigner (116). The system (100) enables computation of safety scores (124) through a calculator (120) using weighted indicators (118) and geographical coordinates (122), with an analyzer (126) generating a spatial safety index map with color-coded priority zones (128). Unlike conventional safety assessment approaches that rely on fragmented crime statistics or singular dimensional analyses, this multi-dimensional approach achieves comprehensive safety perception evaluation through 45 indicators (112) distributed across seven dimensions (114) while providing actionable physical intervention specifications (132) for targeted infrastructure improvements."
