MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621006468 A) filed by St. Vincent Pallotti College Of Engineering And Technology, Nagpur, Maharashtra, on Jan. 22, for 'a speed breaker system for energy harvesting and traffic monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Nikhare, Yogita; Ganvir, Aditya; and Jadhav, Darshan.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a speed breaker system for energy harvesting and traffic monitoring. The present IoT-based smart speed breaker system (102) that integrates piezoelectric or mechanical compression sensors (101) for energy harvesting and real-time traffic monitoring. As vehicles pass over the speed breaker (102), the sensors (101) generate AC electrical energy, which is rectified by a bridge rectifier (103), smoothed through a 1000 F capacitor (104), and stored in a 3.7 V rechargeable battery (106) via a TP4056 charging module (105). Simultaneously, an ESP32 microcontroller (107) records vehicle-related parameters including speed, count, and axle load, and transmits the data wirelessly to a cloud-based dashboard (108) for analysis and visualization. The system enables sustainable energy generation, automated traffic data collection, and real-time anomaly detection such as overspeeding or overloading. The components are integrated within a protective housing to ensure durability against environmental factors, making the system suitable for urban, rural, and energy-scarce locations."
