MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611065885 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology Srinagar on May 25, 2026, for A Real-Time Detection And Alert System For Distracted Driving Behavior Toward Enhanced Road Safety.
Inventors include Dr. Janani L.; Prof. Mohammad Shafi Mir; and Mehak Tariq.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a real-time detection and alert system (100) for distracted driving behavior to enhance road-safety. The system comprises a data acquisition unit (102) for receiving images or video streams and a preprocessing unit (104) for resizing, normalizing, and augmenting data while isolating driver-centric regions and normalizing illumination. An image classification unit (106) and a video classification unit (108) utilize deep learning to identify behaviours such as texting, eating, or reaching. The system employs a temporal segmentation unit (110) and a feature aggregation unit (112) to sample and combine frames into temporal feature representations. An inference unit (116) monitors continuous behavior using a sliding-window mechanism to detect activities accurately. A deployment unit (118) provides a web-based interface for video processing and prediction. Finally, an alert generation unit (120) triggers audio signals and visual overlays upon detecting distractions, utilizing an escalating response mechanism based on behavior persistence and history.
