MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611113171 A) filed by Chitkara University on September 21, 2026, for A System And Method For Route-Based Priority Control Of A Traffic Signal For An Emergency Vehicle.
Inventors include Santusht Monga; Purnima K Sharma; and Navpreet.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: A route-based traffic signal priority control system and method for an emergency vehicle (102) are disclosed. A vehicle-mounted unit (104) with a GPS module (106), a direct-link transceiver (108), and an app device (110) captures a vehicle position and destination. A cloud server (112) obtains a real route polyline and an actual traffic signal location, classifies each signal as on-route, near-route, or off-route, computes a priority score from a route distance, a vehicle distance, and an activation-zone criterion, and selects an upcoming signal with a priority direction, incorporating an ambulance-versus-police and a nearest-vehicle arbitration. A bridge module (114) publishes a command to a traffic signal controller unit (116) with a microcontroller (118), a network module (120), a direct-link transceiver (122), a buzzer (124), and a lamp driver (126), which actuates the direction via a network path or a fail-safe direct link, sounds the buzzer, and resets after the vehicle passes.
