MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048796 A) filed by Asia Pacific World School; and Samuel Paul Isaac, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on April 16, for 'a system for auto-sync ambulance priority traffic signal control.'
Inventor(s) include Samuel Paul Isaac; Dalavoi Dwaraka Sarathi; Mihika Saha; Megha C B; Avantika Utpal Kale; Alcina Shasmecka C; and Shaik Safiya Zainab.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an automated ambulance-priority traffic signal system utilizing short-range wireless communication for real-time signal control. The system comprises a Priority Beacon Sensor mounted on an ambulance and a Smart Receiver Node installed at traffic junctions. The sensor transmits encrypted directional signals during emergency operation, which are detected and authenticated by the receiver node. Upon authentication, the traffic signal is overridden to provide a green signal in the ambulance direction while restricting conflicting traffic. After the ambulance passes, the system restores the original signal cycle through a controlled sequence. The system operates without reliance on GPS, internet connectivity, or centralized control infrastructure. It provides a low-latency, reliable, and scalable solution for improving emergency response efficiency and reducing delays in critical situations."
