MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541131964 A) filed by Sri Manakula Vinayagar Engineering College, Puducherry, India, on Dec. 26, 2025, for 'real-time detection and alert system for trains.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. R. Kalaiyarasan; Dr. P. Raja; Dr. S. Dhivya; P. Suseendhar; R. Padmasri; M. Jenifer Sandier; and K. Jayasri.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention relates to a real-time detection and alert system for trains. It typically includes a dielectric substrate (1), a microcontroller (2), an ultrasonic sensor (3), an infrared (IR) sensor (4), a GPS module (5), a gsm module (6), a camera module (7), a buzzer and led indicators (8), an LCD (9), a power supply (10). This invention provides a proactive safety layer that significantly reduces human error, prevents collisions, and minimizes operational downtime by using Al-driven sensor fusion to identify and communicate track hazards or infrastructure faults instantaneously. The key applications of a real-time detection and alert system for trains include automatic gate control at unmanned level crossings, train-to-train collision avoidance, track defect and crack identification, wildlife and trespasser monitoring, and predictive maintenance of rail infrastructure to prevent derailments and service delays."
