Inventor(s) include Dr. Anwar Bhasha Pattan; Dr. G. Appala Naidu; Dr. Shaik Karimullah; Ms. Priyanka Balaga; Dr. Ravva Gurunadha; Dr. Akurathi Gangadhar; Dr. K. Babulu; and Dr. Ch. Bindu Madhuri.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Smart underground infrastructure is an important feature to be considered while implementing a smart city. Drainage system monitoring plays a vital role in keeping the city clean and healthy. Due to the damaged manholes, there are chances of occurrence of accidents on the road. These damaged manholes will be a hazard to personal safety. The goal of this invention is to develop a smart manhole monitoring system. A Manhole monitoring system will not only help in maintaining the proper health and safety of the city but also in reducing the work of government personnel. Various types of sensors are interfaced with microcontroller in order to make the system smart. The proposed IoT-based manhole monitoring system integrates multiple sensors to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and safety in urban drainage management. By utilizing IR, Ultrasonic, MQ4, and DHT11 sensors, the system provides real-time detection of manhole lid status, water level fluctuations, gas leaks, and environmental conditions. The Wi-Fi and GSM-based communication ensures instant alerts and remote accessibility, allowing authorities to take preventive measures before major incidents occur."
