MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641075063 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai on June 17, 2026, for A System And Method For Monitoring Gap Between Train And Platform At Railway Station.
Inventors include Hemalatha K; Akash B; and Ashwin B.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: A system 100 to monitor platform gap 206 and alert passengers 208 for safety includes a plurality of sensors 102; and a microcontroller 104 in communication with the sensors 102 including one or more modules 106, at least one database, one or more edge-based processors to receive real-time data from sensors 102 and apply in multi- sensor fusion model to validate hazardous platform gap 206; detect arrival and departure of the train 202 based on signal from vibration sensor 102-D to generate state- based logic; compare detected gap 206 with a predefined threshold gap for classification; classify gaps 206 into potential platform gap hazard based on passenger 208 boarding phase and post-train movement; generate real-time alert 106 during boarding phase and train movement phase using audio 106-A and video 106-B means; and log all data for access remotely through cloud dashboards 114 by safety monitoring agencies to develop future safety prediction models.
