MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641043386 A) filed by Mangalam College Of Engineering, Ettumanoor, Kerala, on April 5, for 'smart traffic control and emergency corridor system.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Neethu Maria John; Binosh T Mathew; Devanarayanan H; Aaromal K J; Amal George Mathew; Evan Punnen Jacob; Dan Eldho Anil; Aromal Sunil; and Amal Xavier.
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: "The present invention relates to a smart traffic control and emergency corridor system designed to optimize urban traffic flow and enable rapid movement of emergency vehicles. The system integrates real-time data acquisition using vision-based sensors, adaptive signal control algorithms, and communication mechanisms to dynamically manage traffic conditions at multi-road junctions. Traffic density is continuously monitored and processed to adjust signal timings based on actual road usage rather than fixed schedules. The system further incorporates an emergency corridor mechanism that detects approaching emergency vehicles through GPS-based tracking and image-based identification, allowing automatic prioritization and signal pre-emption along their route. This ensures minimal delay during critical situations. The system operates with a distributed architecture that supports scalability, reliability, and real-time responsiveness. By reducing congestion, improving traffic throughput, and enabling faster emergency response, the invention enhances road safety, operational efficiency, and overall urban mobility in modern transportation systems."
