MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611107562 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 07, 2026, for Iot-Based Underpass Water Management And Flood Control System.

Inventors include Shubham Negi; Palvinder Singh; Yuvraj Gupta; Kanika Jaswal; Yuvika Singh; and Ridham Aggarwal.

The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an IoT-based automated underpass water management and flood control system for real-time monitoring and management of water accumulation in an underpass. The system comprises an ESP32 microcontroller, low-level and high-level water probes, a water pump controlled through a relay, a buzzer, servo-controlled flood gates, a Firebase Realtime Database, an AI backend, and a web-based monitoring dashboard. The water probes detect different water levels, and the ESP32 determines whether the underpass is in a dry, low-water, or flood condition. Based on the detected condition, the system automatically activates the pump, generates warning alerts, and controls the flood gates to restrict vehicle entry. Sensor and operational data are transmitted to Firebase for real-time remote monitoring. The AI backend further processes sensor information to predict flood conditions, thereby providing predictive assessment in addition to real-time detection.
