MUMBAI, India, Sept. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641105512 A) filed by Easwari Engineering College; and Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Ramapuram Campus on September 02, 2026, for A Vehicle-Mounted System For Pothole Detection, Geo-Tagging And Ai-Based Severity Prioritization.
Inventors include Vinoth Kumar H; and Harini S.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle-mounted Intelligent Pothole Detection and Road Health Monitoring System for corporation, transport, and government vehicles. An ultrasonic sensor (6) and camera module (7), interfaced with a microcontroller (2), continuously scan the road surface 5 to 10 meters ahead, detecting potholes and surface damages independent of driver manoeuvring or avoidance. An accelerometer-gyroscope module (5) monitors vehicle tilt and vibration to stabilize the scanning angle of the sensor and camera for accurate detection during motion. A GPS module (4) records precise location coordinates. The processed data, including pothole dimensions, coordinates, street name, and proximity to schools or hospitals, is transmitted via IoT to a server hosting an Artificial Intelligence model that ranks severity for repair prioritization. A display unit (8) alerts the driver in real time. Upon revisiting the location, the system rescans, confirms repair status, and closes the reporting loop. Total Number of Words in Abstract:146
