MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641092733 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on July 30, 2026, for A Wearable Railway Accessibility System And Method For Voice Interaction, Coach Localization, And Emergency Escalation.
Inventors include Jagadeesan S; Swetha S A; and Vishva S A.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a wearable railway accessibility system (100) comprises a wrist-worn wearable device (102), a remote processing platform (126), computational modules (128), coach-localization infrastructure (150), train-resident emergency communication infrastructure (158), and railway responder interfaces (166). Voice commands captured through a microphone (108) are processed to perform travel operations and obtain a booking record (168). A coach-localization module (136) evaluates beacon identifiers and Kalman-filtered signal-strength values from low-energy short-range wireless beacons (152), verifies coach identity using radio-frequency identification tags (154), and provides audio-haptic boarding guidance through a speaker (110) and haptic actuator (112). Upon emergency activation, an emergency module (138) generates an emergency data packet (170). The packet is transmitted through cellular connectivity or relayed through railway coach nodes (160) and a train gateway module (162), while an escalation engine (140) routes unacknowledged alerts to responder interfaces (166).
