MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641051531 A) filed by Sr University, Warangal, Telangana, on April 22, for 'smart helmet with iot-enabled accident detection, air quality monitoring, and emergency response integration.'

Inventor(s) include G Ashok.

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: "A smart helmet with IoT-enabled accident detection, air quality monitoring, and emergency response integration for enhancing rider safety, environmental awareness, and rapid emergency assistance. The system comprises embedded impact sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, air quality sensors, GPS modules, wireless communication interfaces, and a microcontroller-based processing unit configured to operate as an integrated intelligent safety platform. Sensor fusion algorithms detect accident events by analyzing abnormal motion patterns, sudden impacts, and collision conditions, and automatically trigger emergency alerts containing geolocation coordinates and incident information to emergency responders or designated contacts.The system further monitors environmental parameters including particulate matter, carbon monoxide, toxic gases, temperature, and humidity to identify hazardous air quality conditions and generate real-time risk warnings for riders. An IoT communication framework supports wireless data transmission, cloud connectivity, and remote safety monitoring. Artificial intelligence and adaptive learning mechanisms improve accident detection accuracy, reduce false alerts, and optimize environmental hazard prediction. Edge and cloud computing integration enables real-time processing, scalable analytics, and resilient operation across diverse connectivity conditions.The invention additionally incorporates secure communication protocols, energy-efficient power management, and geospatial intelligence for route risk analysis and emergency coordination. Overall, the invention provides a robust, scalable, and intelligent wearable safety framework for connected transportation safety, proactive risk management, and improved emergency response effectiveness."
