MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025397 A) filed by Mr. Ashok Kumar S; Mr. Afzal S; Mr. Thamizhvanan D; and Mr. Ramanathan S, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 3, for 'automated sensor-based street lighting with renewable energy harvesting and safety signaling.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Ashok Kumar S; Mr. Afzal S; Mr. Thamizhvanan D; and Mr. Ramanathan S.
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: "An automated street lighting system improves safety and reduces energy consumption by dynamically controlling illumination based on real-time sensing and renewable energy support. A microcontroller-based controller receives an ambient-light signal from an LDR to determine day/night conditions and receives motion signals from distributed PIR/IR sensors arranged as lighting checkpoints. During day conditions, the controller keeps LED streetlight units OFF. During night conditions, the controller selectively turns ON streetlight units only at checkpoints where pedestrian or vehicle motion is detected and reduces illumination during inactivity to lower power use and light pollution. A renewable energy subsystem comprising a solar panel and a piezoelectric energy harvesting module supplies charging energy to a battery storage device, enabling sustainable night-time operation and reduced grid dependence. An emergency trigger input causes the controller to execute a distinct signaling pattern for safety events. An IoT monitoring interface supports remote monitoring and automated fault detection for reduced maintenance."
