MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621025800 A) filed by Amruta Mankawade; Vedant Padole; Sarvesh Mali; Krishna Pandav; Aditya Pardhi; and Prathmesh Nirmal, Pune, Maharashtra, on March 5, for 'sitc (synchronized intelligent traffic control).'
Inventor(s) include Amruta Mankawade; Vedant Padole; Sarvesh Mali; Krishna Pandav; Aditya Pardhi; and Prathmesh Nirmal.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The A smart adaptive traffic signal control system is disclosed for optimizing traffic flow at intersections by dynamically adjusting signal timings based on real-time vehicle density. The system employs a distributed control architecture utilizing two Arduino UNO microcontrollers, wherein a first unit manages North and West lanes and a second unit manages East and South lanes . These processing units are synchronized via a serial communication interface (TX/RX) to exchange data and prevent signal phase conflicts. Infrared (IR) sensors positioned on each lane detect vehicle presence via beam interruption, allowing the control logic to count vehicles and allocate Green signal durations proportional to the traffic volume . The system further incorporates a smart switching mechanism that automatically reverts to a round-robin sequence if no vehicles are detected for a predetermined threshold, such as 10 seconds, to ensure continuous flow during idle periods. Real-time countdown timers are provided via TM1637 7- segment displays to enhance driver anticipation and safety."
