MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621004290 A) filed by Vishwakarma Institute Of Technology, Pune, Maharashtra, on Jan. 16, for 'a vehicle speed control system.'
Inventor(s) include Mundada, Kapil; Mundada, Dipali; Patwal, Pradyot Sanjeev; Pendor, Harshal Pola; Pawar, Harish Subhash; and Pisal, Yashraj Bhausaheb.
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 is related to a vehicle speed control system that combines real-time image processing, optical character recognition [OCR], and sensor-based feedback to enhance road safety. An ESP32-CAM module (101) periodically captures roadway images, which are transmitted to a server (102) for analysis using a YOLOv4 (103) deep learning model trained to detect and classify traffic signs. For speed limit signs, OCR extracts the numeric limit, which is compared with the vehicle's real-time speed measured via a Hall effect sensor and wheel-mounted magnets. A NodeMCU Wi-Fi module (104) transmits control commands to a high-torque servo motor (105) that applies braking proportional to the detected speed differential. Caution and information signs trigger moderate or light braking, respectively, regardless of current speed. The system operates in an autonomous closed loop at five-second intervals, offering a low-cost, scalable solution and significantly reducing accidents caused by speeding in critical road zones."
