MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049197 A) filed by Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Ramapuram Campus; and Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 17, for 'intelligent decision-support system for automated train induction and metro operational optimization.'
Inventor(s) include Mr. Achuthan S; Mr. Srinath D; Mr. Adithya Jayant. S; and Dr. R. Rajesh Kanna.
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: "This invention's AI-based approach is meant to improve general metro rail network operations and make train induction planning easier. The system integrates weather data, revenue optimization, passenger data analysis, predictive maintenance forecasts, and scheduling algorithms that can handle many objectives at once, among other state-of-the-art capabilities. By integrating these technologies, the platform can produce rated train induction plans, AI-based schedules, and practical operational advice. In short, it helps planners decide when and how to add trains to the network in a more logical and efficient manner. One of the main advantages of this method is that less manual planning work is required. Instead than relying mostly on human calculations and speculation, After analysing vast volumes of data, the AI system makes precise recommendations. Metro operators can therefore make more informed judgments and enhance fleet availability, operational effectiveness, and overall cost management."
