MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631029216 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on March 11, for 'rakshak- automated braking and speed control system.'
Inventor(s) include Chiradipta Behera; Sohini Saha; Sania Sarkar; Anindya Neogi; Ritwika Mukherjee; Dr. Md. Ashifuddin Mondal; Dr. Pushpita Roy; and Bingshati Mondal.
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 present invention relates to an automated braking and speed control system designed to enhance road safety under adverse environmental conditions. The system utilizes a sophisticated sensor suite-comprising visibility, humidity, temperature, radar, and ultrasonic sensors-to detect hazardous weather such as fog and rain, as well as proximal obstacles. A central processing unit analyzes this environmental data and autonomously enforces a maximum speed limit of 30 km/h by interfacing with the vehicle's engine control unit and braking actuators. The invention further supports V2V and V2I communication for networked hazard awareness and includes fail-safe redundancy to ensure continuous safety enforcement. By proactively restricting velocity, the system prevents accidents and stabilizes traffic flow in high-risk zones."
