MUMBAI, India, Aug. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641100846 A) filed by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham on August 20, 2026, for Vehicle-Mounted Sensor-Based System For Pothole Detection And Suspension Health Prediction.
Inventors include Chulliyil, Adithyan; Inchackal, Joshua Thomas Koshy; Venneti, Sri Satya Vasanth; and Kaliyaperumal, Deepa.
The application for the patent was published on August 28, 2026, under issue no. 35/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides a pothole detection and vehicle suspension health prediction system (100) and a method (300) that address mechanical damage and rising maintenance cost caused by road surface depressions. The system (100) includes an inertial measurement unit (102) sensing a Z-axis acceleration, a satellite-based positioning module (104) furnishing a geographic coordinate, and a microcontroller (106) deriving from a smooth-road condition both a calibrated threshold and a baseline root-mean-square value in a common calibration. The microcontroller (106) reports an event data record (114) to a first remote datastore (112) and a trip-level- normalized health index (116-2) to a second remote datastore (116). Unlike conventional systems addressing only detection through fixed thresholds and remote processing, this approach performs on-device detection and health assessment, enabling crowd-sourced road mapping and vehicle-suspension monitoring across varied vehicles and operating conditions.
