MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621007261 A) filed by Miti Agarwal; Manya Choudaha; Vihar Motghare; Madhav Soni; Moulik Lunawat; Prof. Dr. Kiran Ingale; Ms. Prajakta Musale; and Prof. Dr. Premanand Gadekar, Pune, Maharashtra, on Jan. 24, for 'electricity generation by speed breaker with smart traffic monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Miti Agarwal; Manya Choudaha; Vihar Motghare; Madhav Soni; Moulik Lunawat; Prof. Dr. Kiran Ingale; Ms. Prajakta Musale; and Prof. Dr. Premanand Gadekar.
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: "A roadway-integrated intelligent device comprising a deformable speed-breaker structure that embeds a matrix of solid-state piezoelectric discs to directly convert synchronous compressive deformation from vehicle wheel impacts into high-impedance alternating voltage impulses, concurrently interpreted as sensing pulses by a low-power microcontroller subsystem, wherein the electrical impulses are conditioned through full-wave bridge rectification, ripple- mitigated by a capacitive energy buffer, isolated via low-loss reverse-current blocking diodes, safely stored in a dual-cell lithium-ion module governed by a Battery Management System enforcing over-voltage, over-current, short- circuit, and thermal protection, and further regulated to a stable 5 V DC output via a buck DC-DC converter to autonomously power embedded electronics including a character display, while providing real-time vehicle counting, traffic- density estimation, energy-event profiling, and local field-visible analytics without reliance on grid wiring, replaceable sensor batteries, or mechanical gearing, enabling durable, maintenance-light, decentralized deployment for Intelligent Transportation Systems and smart-city roadway infrastructure."
