MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133981 A) filed by Dr. Mahalingam College Of Engineering And Technology, Pollachi, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 31, 2025, for 'smart crowd panic detection beacon.'
Inventor(s) include S. Senthil Prabhu; and B. Suganya.
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: "A Crowd Safety System powered by Artificial Intelligence uses distributed edgecomputing beacons to analyze the environment and behavior of crowds in real time through the use of multiple modalities of data and data sources, including acoustic, motion, and density sensors which all collect data that are converted into numerical feature vectors for processing by an Edge-ML model trained to identify both emergency panic situations and also normal crowd behavior. Using Spatial-Temporal Fusion and Neighbor Corroboration over a secure wireless mesh network, the Decision Layer classifies potential risks and initiates a variety of graded Mitigation Processes including automated Public Announcements, notification of Security Personnel, and various types of Facility Control. This system has been created specifically for venues that host large scale crowds (e.g., concerts, sporting events) to detect stampedes and panic events in real-time with high degrees of accuracy and efficiency; thus eliminating the need for traditional centralized manual surveillance techniques or reliance on privacy-invasive Video Recording."
