MUMBAI, India, June 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641074685 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai on June 16, 2026, for Hybrid Quantum-Classical Digital Twin System For Real-Time Flood Forecasting And Dam Advisory.
Inventors include Indra Priyadarshini S; Rajasree T; Padmavathy T V.; Kaushik P; and S. Pragadeesh.
The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: A flood forecasting system (102) including a data acquisition unit (212), a flood forecasting engine (218), a historical scenario matching unit (220), a digital twin simulation unit (222), an advisory generation unit (224), and a control unit comprising one or more processors (202) and a memory (204). The data acquisition unit (212) receives environmental data and historical flood-event data associated with one or more water bodies. The flood forecasting engine (218) generates a flood-risk prediction and a prediction-confidence score. The historical scenario matching unit (220) identifies historical flood events based on at least one of rainfall magnitude, rainfall duration, lake level, inflow rate, outflow rate, gate-opening status, flood severity, and flood impact information. The digital twin simulation unit (222) updates simulation parameters based on outcomes of the identified historical flood events and simulates water-body behavior. The advisory generation unit (224) generates flood-mitigation recommendations including reservoir-gate operation, controlled water-release, warning, and evacuation recommendations.
