MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641063262 A) filed by Rns Institute Of Technology; J V Benakasree; Kaustubha K; Jyotsna Nagalikar; and Dr. Akshay Arjun, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on May 19, for 'sensor-triggered multi-cycle self-healing road system with embedded sensing and controlled healing mechanism.'
Inventor(s) include J V Benakasree; Kaustubha K; Jyotsna Nagalikar; and Dr. Akshay Arjun.
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 a road infrastructure system configured for detection and repair of structural damage. The system comprises a multi-layered road structure including a sensing layer and a healing layer. A plurality of embedded sensors is configured to monitor parameters including stress, strain, vibration, and crack formation and to generate corresponding signals. A processing unit is operatively coupled to the sensors and is configured to analyze the signals to determine the location and severity of damage. The system further comprises a healing material delivery network including one or more reservoirs and flow channels configured to transport a flowable healing material toward a damaged region. An activation mechanism is configured to initiate localized release or activation of the healing material in response to the processing unit. The system operates in a closed-loop configuration enabling continuous monitoring and repeated healing over multiple damage cycles. The invention provides controlled, localized, and repeatable repair of road surfaces, thereby improving durability and reducing maintenance requirements."
