MUMBAI, India, June 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621048248 A) filed by Ramdeobaba University, Nagpur; Shri Ramdeobaba College Of Engineering And Management, Nagpur; Deshmukh, Sharvari; Katre, Mohit; Malani, Krishna; Khan, Samiha; and Voditel, Preeti on April 15, 2026, for A System And Method For Autonomous Urban Heat-Risk Monitoring.
Inventors include Deshmukh, Sharvari; Katre, Mohit; Malani, Krishna; Khan, Samiha; and Voditel, Preeti.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: A system (100) and method (200) for autonomous urban heat-risk monitoring are disclosed. The system (100) includes a plurality of distributed environmental sensor nodes (110a-110n) deployable across an urban area. Each sensor node includes a temperature sensor (112), a humidity sensor (114), a positioning module (116), a microcontroller (118), a local memory (120), a communication module (122), and a power management unit (124). The microcontroller (118) preprocesses captured environmental data and locally computes, at defined intervals, a Heat Index value using a Rothfusz regression Method and a localized urban heat intensity score representing human-perceived heat stress for a corresponding microclimate location. The local memory (120) stores the captured and computed data during periods of network unavailability. The communication module (122) transmits stored and/or newly captured data to a cloud-based analytics platform (130), which generates warning indicators and decision-support information (134) for administrative entities, emergency-response entities, and urban-planning entities.
