MUMBAI, India, Nov. 21 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541097285 A) filed by Mahalakshmi H; and Jessy VM, Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, on Oct. 9, for 'perceiva - ai powered smart walking stick with adaptive voice assistance and object recognition.'
Inventor(s) include Mahalakshmi H; and Jessy VM.
The application for the patent was published on Nov. 21, under issue no. 47/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Railway transportation is a vital mode of travel and goods movement, but the increasing train frequency raises the risk of collisions, especially when two trains operate on the same track segment. This project proposes an Internet of Things (loT)-based system to monitor train positions in real time and detect possible collision scenarios. Each train is equipped with a GPS module, a microcontroller (such as ESP32 or NocleMCU), and a wireless communication module (LoRa, Wi-Fi, or GSM) to continuously transmit its location and identification data. The railway track is logically divided into virtual segments, and each segment is monitored by a central control system or trackside smart nodes. A collision detection algorithm compares the positions, directions, and speeds of trains to identify when two trains are on the same track to train operators and the control center, enabling timely intervention. Optionally, it can integrate with signaling systems or automated braking mechanisms to prevent accidents. The proposed system is cost-effective, scalable, and suitable for both urban and rural railway networks, offering a modern solution for enhancing rail safety through real-time monitoring and automated decision-making."
