MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541060683 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on June 25, for 'smart iot-based automatic leg guard deployment system for two-wheeler accident detection and rider protection.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Vijayarajeswari R; Dr. Iyyanar P; Mr. Yukthish M; Mr. Inbasarathi Jayachandran; and Mr. Gows Maithine A.
The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Through this innovation the developers created an IoT-enhanced safety system for protecting two-wheeler riders' legs in high-speed accident scenarios. The Automated LegGuard System detects accidents through its built-in collision detection capability while monitoring vehicle speed as a trigger for its emergency response system. A linear actuator receives the signal from an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) after the motorcycle reaches 40-50 km/h speed limit with detected collision. The manually loaded spring-lock mechanism enables the actuator to extend the crash guard rod up to 1.5 feet near the leg of the rider to create a protective barrier instantly. The real-time sensor-driven system delivers better protection against leg injury than static guards because it presents dynamic on-demand protection beyond standard leg protection mechanisms. IoT technology with embedded control and mechanical automation allows this invention to provide two-wheeler riders with an innovative intelligent safety system."
