MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641109663 A) filed by Vignan'S Nirula Institute Of Technology And Science For Women on September 12, 2026, for Density Based Traffic Control Using Vehicle Noise.
Inventors include Dr. G. Sandhya; K. Rijvana; K. Hemalatha; J. Maha Lakshmi; P. Anantha Lakshmi; A. V. L. Kousalya; M. Hema Sri; G. Thirupathamma; and G. Lakshmi Deepika.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: A density based traffic control system that estimates traffic congestion using vehicle-generated noise. Noise sensors (12a-12d) positioned at each approach road of an intersection (10) continuously monitor noise intensity, which is acquired, measured and analysed by a processing unit (14) to estimate traffic density on each lane. A controller (16) dynamically allocates traffic signal timing to each road (18a-18d) based on the estimated density, thereby improving traffic flow and reducing waiting time, without requiring cameras or image processing.
