MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641001542 A) filed by Mepco Schlenk Engineering College, Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 7, for 'ultrasonic speed breaker detection with buzzer alert.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. A. D. C. Navin Dhinnesh; and Dr J Murugachandravel.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Speed breakers are widely used to regulate vehicle speed and improve road safety, particularly in residential and high-risk areas. However, drivers often encounter difficulty in identifying speed breakers in advance, especially during nighttime driving, poor visibility conditions, or while traveling on unfamiliar roads. Such situations may lead to sudden braking, vehicle damage, and even road accidents. This work presents a smart Speed Breaker Detection System with Buzzer Notification using ultrasonic sensor technology to overcome these challenges. The proposed system continuously measures the distance between the vehicle and the road surface in real time. When a speed breaker is detected within a predefined threshold range, the system promptly triggers a buzzer to alert the driver. This early warning mechanism enables the driver to reduce speed smoothly and safely. The system is designed to be simple, low-cost, and easily deployable in different types of vehicles. By reducing abrupt braking, it helps minimize mechanical wear and tear and improves driving comfort. The project involves detailed system design, hardware implementation, and testing under varied road conditions to evaluate performance. Experimental observations confirm that the system accurately detects speed breakers and delivers timely alerts. Overall, the proposed solution enhances road safety, reduces accident risks, and offers a reliable support system for modern intelligent transportation applications."
