In-Vehicle Emergency Blaring System
CT University's Robotic and Automation department invented "In-Vehicle Emergency Blaring System". This invention is about a smart horn for any vehicle that can be activated only with permission granted from the doctor/police authorities. This invention would be very beneficial during the current covid -19 situation where if any person wants to go to the hospital in an emergency situation, then this smart horn will convert itself to an Emergency Blaring Siren. For the working of this system, there will be one mobile-based application that needs to be installed on the user end as well as on the police/doctor's end. The user then sends the request to the doctor/police authorities and then based upon the authenticity of the request received, the police/doctor can grant the request. After the grant, the smart horn turns into the siren. Dr. Harmeet Singh, Deputy Director, IPR cell and the inventor of the patent said, “We have used one controller which is always connected with the internet. This controller can activate and deactivate the siren based upon the permission received. We have also added one more special feature in this invention which will not allow the user to bypass the siren system, which means the user can’t use the siren without the permission of the higher authority”. Mr. Ati Priye, Director for Planning and Development and the second inventor of the patent, added that “This invention will help the vehicle to move fast but safely during an emergency situation. It also would be possible to track that specific vehicle by Doctor/ police while rushing for medical help. The best thing about this invention is that this module can be fitted easily inside all existing vehicles”. The patent filed by Dr. Harmeet Singh and Mr. Ati Priye is now ready for commercialization. The prototype was built in the Robotics lab, CT University with the help of Lab Technician Mr. Gurkirat Singh. This invention is ready for the pilot phase of testing in a particular region and with limited Hospitals.
