MUMBAI, India, Nov. 28 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531110441 A) filed by Jis College Of Engineering, Kalyani, West Bengal, on Nov. 12, for 'real-time accident detection and emergency alert system with gps tracking.'

Inventor(s) include Sumanta Chatterjee; Dr. Partha Sarkar; Dr. Shyam Sundar Santra; Sanket Dan; Niladri Mondal; Namrata Pal; Priyanshu Nayan; and Ronit Pal.

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: "The present invention relates to a real-time accident detection and emergency alert system utilizing a microcontroller-based platform for automatic accident identification and location-based communication. The system comprises an Arduino Nano microcontroller connected to an ADXL335 accelerometer sensor, a GPS module, a GSM module, and a power regulation circuit incorporating an LM2596 buck converter. The accelerometer continuously monitors acceleration along three axes, and upon detecting an abrupt change indicative of a collision, the microcontroller activates the GPS module to obtain precise geographic coordinates of the incident. The GSM module then transmits an SMS message containing the accident alert and location details to predefined emergency contacts. The LM2596 buck converter ensures a stable power supply to maintain reliable operation. The system may further include a manual emergency switch and alert indicators for enhanced safety and usability. Compact, cost-effective, and efficient, the invention provides real-time accident detection and rapid communication to improve emergency response times and reduce fatalities in vehicular accidents."
