Abstract: The present invention relates to an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based automatic fire detection and suppression system for vehicle engine compartments. The system comprises a plurality of temperature, smoke, and flame sensors configured to continuously monitor engine conditions and an AI-based control unit configured to perform multi-sensor data fusion for accurate fire detection while minimizing false alarms. Upon confirmation of a fire event, the control unit automatically actuates a fire suppression assembly including a pressurized extinguishing agent container, control valve, distribution pipes, and discharge nozzles to suppress the fire. The system further initiates automatic engine shutdown, unlocks vehicle doors, transmits GPS-based emergency notifications, and records operational data for subsequent analysis. Fire-resistant pipes routed through the engine compartment and bonnet provide comprehensive extinguishing coverage. The invention provides an intelligent, autonomous, reliable, and cost-effective fire protection solution suitable for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and electric vehicles.
