MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611107561 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 07, 2026, for An Ai-Enabled Automatic Inflatable Life Box System For Vehicles During Submersion Emergencies.
Inventors include Jagmeet Singh; and Dilpreet Singh.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an automatic inflatable life-saving system for vehicles, particularly for protecting occupants during vehicle submersion, flooding, or water-related accidents. The system comprises a compact life box integrated within a vehicle door and housing a folded inflatable flotation structure. An auxiliary air supply system comprising an air compressor and at least one compressed-air cylinder supplies air to the flotation structure through a pressure-regulated release mechanism. The air cylinder may be positioned within the engine compartment or the vehicle door according to vehicle configuration. A plurality of sensors detects conditions including water ingress, impact, vehicle tilt and submersion, while an AI-based control unit analyses the sensor data to determine an emergency condition and automatically actuates deployment and inflation. A manual activation mechanism provides an alternative mode of operation. The inflatable flotation structure includes occupant hand grips and tethering means to facilitate stabilization and escape, thereby enhancing occupant survivability during water-related vehicle emergencies.
