MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641123671 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on October 15, 2026, for System And Method For Multi-Location Air Quality Forecasting With Geographic Graph Modelling And Source-To-Target Transfer.

Inventors include Krishnamoorthy A; and Lakshmi S.

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

Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a system (100) and method for multi-location air quality forecasting that integrates geographic graph modelling and source-to-target parameter transfer for processing pollutant data associated with geographically distributed monitoring locations and generating node-wise multi-horizon air-quality forecasts, thereby preserving target-specific geographical relationships, supporting forecasting at data-scarce monitoring locations, and facilitating multi-location air- quality assessment. The system (100) comprises a computing device (102), at least one processor (104), a memory (106), plurality of monitoring nodes (108), and plurality of modules (112). The system (100) preprocesses pollutant observations, pretrains a temporal feature extractor using historical pollutant data from a data-rich source monitoring node, constructs a geographic target monitoring graph, and transfers learned source-model parameters while retaining a weighted normalized target adjacency matrix. The system (100) generates node-wise multi-horizon PM2.5 and PM10 forecasts for the monitoring locations.
