Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a water logging and drainage control system that is developed to manage water accumulation on roads to prevent flooding and enhance urban infrastructure resilience by detecting water levels, initiating timely drainage and maintaining clear pathways to improve road safety during adverse weather conditions.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Urban areas increasingly face challenges due to frequent and severe water logging, especially during heavy rainfall, leading to traffic disruptions, road damage and public safety hazards. Drainage systems lack the responsiveness and adaptability needed to address rapidly changing water levels and debris accumulation. Additionally, poor visibility and inadequate guidance during such conditions further endanger commuters and slow emergency response. They fail to detect water levels, clear blockages, guide traffic or operate using renewable energy sources, which significantly limits their ability to reduce the impact of water logging, enhance urban resilience, improve traffic flow and lower maintenance costs for infrastructure management amid changing climate patterns and increasing urbanization.

[0003] Traditional management of water logging using traditional tools such as shovels, drain rods, suction hoses and handheld pumps presents numerous challenges, especially during extreme weather conditions. These methods are labor-intensive, time-consuming and ineffective in rapidly rising water levels. Workers face difficulty locating blockages, clearing debris and ensuring continuous drainage without real-time data. Additionally, poor visibility during floods and lack of automated guidance makes hazardous for both maintenance crews and road users. Manual inspection tools, such as flashlights or handheld cameras, offer limited coverage and miss hidden obstructions or damage. Due to lack of monitoring and automated cleaning, traditional approaches fail to maintain consistent road safety or operational efficiency. The reliance on human intervention slows down emergency response, increases the risk of accidents, and escalates maintenance costs, underscoring the need for a solution to overcome these limitations.

[0004] US11761191B2 discloses an outdoor drain filter useful for maintaining the operability of an outdoor drain despite the accumulation of debris that would otherwise obstruct the outdoor drain, resulting in flood prevention of surrounding areas. The outdoor drain filter of the present invention is placed above and around an existing outdoor drain or may be integral with a drain cover or drain reservoir. The outdoor drain filter comprises upper and side filtration means allowing the free flow of water there through. The outdoor drain filter further comprises a diverter comprising at least one air vent and at least one lateral pipe that defines a maximum water level to which water will accumulate around the outdoor drain before being diverted into the drain through the diverter. The outdoor drain filter may a manufactured unit or of modular construction.

[0005] CN218466679U discloses an urban flood control and drainage drain pipe structure which comprises a drain pipe, a water retaining part arranged in the drain pipe and a driving motor driving the water retaining part to be opened and closed, the water retaining part comprises a water baffle and a rotating shaft, the shape of the water baffle is matched with the section outline of the drain pipe, and the rotating shaft of the water baffle is fixedly connected to the water baffle. The rotating shaft extends along the diameter of the water baffle, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are rotationally connected to the pipe wall of the drainage pipe; the driving motor is arranged on the outer wall of the drainage pipe and used for driving the rotating shaft to rotate, and a water level monitoring control piece for controlling starting and stopping of the driving motor is arranged on the pipe wall of the drainage pipe. The possibility that rainwater in the drainage pipe flows backwards to the road surface to cause adverse effects on road surface traffic can be reduced.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed to manage water drainage, detect flooding and provide basic road maintenance, but these devices lack integrated automation, real-time adaptability and response to changing environmental conditions. These existing devices fail to self-operate during emergencies, cannot dynamically guide road users and require constant human intervention for cleaning and monitoring, making them inefficient for modern urban infrastructure facing unpredictable weather and increasing water logging challenges.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to be capable of autonomous water level detection, efficient debris removal and adaptive traffic guidance, enhancing safety and reducing flooding risks to provide continuous monitoring, minimize manual intervention, optimize energy use through renewable sources and offer real-time communication, ultimately improving road usability, lowering maintenance costs, and ensuring safer, more resilient urban infrastructure.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to develop system that is capable of autonomously detecting water logging conditions, initiating efficient drainage by performing real-time cleaning, providing adaptive visual guidance, monitoring environmental factors, and ensuring uninterrupted functionality using renewable energy to enhance road safety, traffic flow and urban flood management.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to develop system that is capable of automatically detecting rising water levels on roads and dynamically activating drainage responses for ensuring the timely removal of excess water and reducing the risk of flooding.

[0023] The present invention relates to a water logging and drainage control system that is developed to manage water accumulation and drainage through real-time environmental monitoring, dynamic hazard illumination for improved visibility and safety and renewable energy utilization to ensure continuous and sustainable operation, while also enabling remote communication and control to support rapid response to changing road conditions and enhance overall public safety.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a water logging and drainage control system is illustrated, comprising a pair of platform 101, a 360-degree AI-powered camera 102 installed on the platform 101, a storage box 103 installed on the platform 101 and mounted via horizontal slider 104, the storage box 103 connected to a hydraulic piston bar 105 via a motorized ball and socket joint 106, a rotating brush 107 attached to the storage box 103 via an expandable bar 108 and a motorized ball-and-socket joint 109, a clamp 110 attached to the storage box 103 via an expandable bar 111 and motorized ball-and-socket joint 112.

[0025] Figure 1 further illustrates a sharp rod 113 attached to the storage box 103 via an expandable bar 114 and a motorized ball and-socket joint 115, a holographic projector 116 mounted on the platform 101, Multiple focus lights 117 mounted on the platform 101 via hydraulic piston bars 118 with ball-and-socket joints 119, Multiple solar panels 120 mounted on the platform 101 via hydraulic piston bars 121 with ball-and-socket joints arrangement 122, multiple horizontal telescopic rods 123, a plurality of expandable conduits 124 connected to a high-capacity pump 125, multiple plates 126 connected via motorized hinge joints 127 and a Scott Russell arrangement 128 installed between plates 126 and telescopic rods 123.

[0026] The system disclosed herein comprises of a pair of platforms 101 that is configured to secure on both side of road surface by drilling. The platform 101 serves as a stable base and core component of the system and is made from strong and lightweight materials which includes but not limited to hardened steel, Aluminum alloy, hard fiber and composite material to withstand weight, handle loads and surface irregularities, while providing a reliable foundation.

[0027] A user is required to activate the system manually by pressing a button installed on the platform 101 and linked with a processing module integrated in the system and coupled to mechanical and electronic components of the system. The button is a type of switch that is internally connected with the system via multiple circuits that upon pressing by the user, the circuits get closed and starts conduction of electricity that tends to activate the system and vice versa.

[0028] A Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module is integrated with the processing module to enable wireless communication with cloud servers, mobile devices and emergency services, ensuring real-time updates, remote monitoring and control via an application installed on a computing unit. The computing unit features a built-in user interface that allows the user to interact through a touchscreen, keyboard or other available input methods. The computing unit includes, but not limited to smartphone, tablet or laptop that comprises a processor where the data is received from the processing module is stored, process and retrieve the output data in order to display on computing unit.

[0029] The Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module is a hardware component that enables the processing module to connect wirelessly with the computing unit. The Wi-Fi module works by utilizing radio waves to transmit and receive data over short distances. The core functionality relies on the IEEE 802.11 standards, which define the protocols for wireless local area networking (WLAN). Once connected, the module allows the processing module to send and receive data through data packets.

[0030] A 360-degree AI-powered camera 102 is mounted on the pair of platforms 101 enhances road monitoring by providing a comprehensive visual overview of the surrounding area by scanning the environment in all directions for detecting issues such as water logging, debris and obstructed drainage in real-time. The 360-degree AI-powered camera 102 that comprises of a computer vision and image capturing module that includes a set of lenses to capture multiple high-resolution images to visually monitor the surrounding area for water logging, debris then the captured images are stored within memory of the 360-degree AI-powered camera 102 in form of an optical data.

[0031] The 360-degree AI-powered camera 102 incorporates a processor that is fed with an artificial intelligence protocol which operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process optical data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, captured images are collected and input into a database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the optical data. The processor of the 360-degree AI-powered camera 102 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and transmits to the processing module to determine water logging, debris and obstructed drainage.

[0032] An ultrasonic sensor is integrated with a sewer grill to detect rising water levels. The sensor ultrasonic sensor works by emitting a high-frequency sound waves (usually 40 kHz) directed toward the water surface. When these waves hit the water, they reflect back to the receiver as echoes. The sensor’s control circuit measures the time between transmission and echo reception—known as the time of flight. Using the that, calculates the distance from the sensor to the water surface. As the water level rises or falls, this distance changes, allowing real-time monitoring. The signal is then converted into a digital value and sent to the processing module, which compares to preset thresholds limit stored in a database. If critical levels are detected, the processing signals to manage water flow and prevent overflow.

[0033] A horizontal rectangular sewer grill is constructed using multiple horizontal telescopic rods 123, to prevent blockages in sewer channels. Under normal conditions, the telescopic rods 123 remain in their compact or standard position, forming a tightly spaced grill that allows water to pass through while trapping large debris like leaves, plastic or litter. When the camera 102 identifies physical obstructions and the ultrasonic sensor detects abnormal water levels indicating potential clogging, the processing module analyzes this data and upon confirming blockage risk, actuates the telescopic rods 123 that consist of nested tubular sections which slides within each other and is connected to a pneumatic actuator that includes an air compressor, a cylinder with a piston and solenoid valve. The air compressor generates compressed air, which passes through a solenoid valve and enters into the air cylinder. The air pressure inside the cylinder causes the piston to push the rod 123 outward, causing multiple nested tubular sections to extend horizontally for increasing the spacing, allowing trapped debris to pass through temporarily without clogging. Once the obstruction clears or water pressure normalizes, the rods 123 retract to their original position, restoring the fine filtration needed to prevent solid waste from entering the sewer. This dynamic, adaptive design minimizes manual cleaning, reduces the risk of urban flooding and ensures continuous water flow even during heavy rainfall.

[0034] A water extraction assembly is integrated with each sewer grill, to efficiently manage waterlogging and maintain clear drainage channels. The water extraction assembly consists of plurality of expandable conduits 124, each fitted with an iris-lid at tip to allow water extraction when needed and closes tightly to prevent backflow. The expandable conduits 124 are connected to a high-capacity pump 125 that creates necessary suction force to draw excess water from the surface during heavy rainfall or flooding events. When the camera 102 and ultrasonic sensor detects elevated water levels or potential blockages near the sewer grill, the processing module actuates the pump 125 that consists of a motor, impeller, casing and inlet/outlet valves working together to move large volumes of water efficiently. The motor, powers the impeller a rotating component with blades developed to accelerate water outward through centrifugal force. Water enters the pump 125 through the inlet valve, where the impeller’s rapid rotation increases velocity and pressure.

[0035] The casing directs the high-pressure water toward the outlet valve, which controls the flow out of the pump 125. The pump 125 operates continuously for maintaining strong suction to draw water through connected conduits 124 that consist of a flexible inner sleeve, an expandable structural mesh and a protective outer layer. The inner sleeve provides a smooth passage for cabling or fluids, maintaining consistent flow. Surrounding the sleeve by the structural mesh made from polymer that expands radially when pressure is applied due to excess water flowing, allowing the conduit 124 to grow in diameter. The protective outer layer shields against abrasion, moisture, and environmental exposure while maintaining flexibility. Simultaneously, the processing module actuates the iris lid that consist of an actuation ring and a plurality of blades according to the size of the lid. The blades are affixed with the actuation ring. The actuation ring is connected to an electric motor, which provide opening and closing movement of the actuation ring leading to the movement of blades inward or outward to change the size of the opening. When the blades close, the aperture becomes smaller, closing the lid. When the blades open, the aperture widens, opening the lid. The adjustment of the blades allows the iris lid to allow water extraction by effectively clearing surface water and preventing clogging near the sewer grill or drainage channels.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conduits 124 integrated with each sewer grill serve a dual purpose not only for extracting excess water during waterlogging but also functioning as high-pressure water jets to remove mud, fine particles and debris that may cause blockages in the drainage channels. This functionality is enabled by an additional high-capacity pump installed at the sewer grill, which is connected to the water extraction conduits 124 via a dedicated transfer pipe. The pipe redirects extracted water to the pump for generating high-pressure streams when needed. Upon sensing a blockage or buildup within the grill detected through camera 102, ultrasonic sensors, the processing module triggers the pump that consists of a motor, pump chamber, inlet and outlet valves and connecting tubing. The motor drives a diaphragm to creates suction in the pump chamber, drawing extracted water from the transfer pipe through the inlet valve. The extracted water is then pressurized and pushed through the outlet valve toward the conduit 124 for significantly increasing pressure for effective application. Simultaneously, the processing module actuates the iris-lids at the tip of the conduits 124, precisely adjusting their aperture to focus and control the water jet pressure and direction. The pressure force generated by the pump propels water through the conduit 124 at high speed, targeting the obstruction and dislodging from the grill or drainage channels. This ensures the sewer remains clear of sediment, organic waste, mud or urban debris that reduce flow efficiency or lead to overflows during storms.

[0037] A communicatively coupled weather station provides real-time rainfall, humidity, temperature and wind speed data to optimize responses, enabling proactive flood prevention and efficient water management during changing weather conditions. The weather station includes a rain sensor that identifies the presence and intensity of rainfall by measuring moisture levels. The rain sensor consists of an infrared LED and a photodetector. The LED emits infrared light across the sensor surface and in dry conditions, this light reflects directly back to the photodetector. When raindrops land on the sensor, they scatter or absorb the infrared light, causing a decrease in the reflected signal. The sensor’s circuitry detects this drop in reflected light and converts into an electrical signal and transmits to the processing module to determine the presence of rain.

[0038] The weather station also includes a humidity sensor that measures moisture content in the surrounding air, an important environmental factor for predicting rainfall and ensuring an accurate response to weather changes. The humidity sensor works by measuring changes in relative humidity based on variations in electrical capacitance. The sensor consists of two conductive electrodes, a hygroscopic dielectric layer (a polymer or metal oxide) and a signal processing circuit. The dielectric material is sensitive to moisture and absorbs water vapor from the air. As the ambient relative humidity increases, more water molecules are absorbed, increasing the dielectric constant of the material and consequently, the capacitance between the electrodes. This change in capacitance is directly related to the humidity level and is detected by a signal conditioning circuit, which converts into a measurable voltage. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) then digitizes this signal and transmits to the processing module to determine accurate, real-time humidity readings of surrounding environment.

[0039] The weather station further includes a temperature sensor that measures the surrounding air temperature, an important environmental factor for predicting weather patterns and managing drainage response accordingly. The temperature sensor works by measuring infrared radiation emitted environment. The sensor consists of an optical arrangement, a thermopile detector, signal conditioning circuitry and an output interface. The optical arrangement focuses the incoming infrared radiation onto the thermopile detector, which absorbs the radiation and converts into a small voltage proportional to the amount of heat energy received. This analog signal is then amplified and processed by signal conditioning circuitry to filter noise and stabilize the reading. The processed signal is converted into a temperature value using calibration data and is transmitted through a digital interface to processing module for determining accurate, temperature of surrounding environment.

[0040] The weather station furthermore includes a wind detection sensor that provides real-time monitoring of wind speed and airflow conditions. The wind detection sensor works by using a heated sensing element, commonly a fine wire, whose temperature is maintained above ambient levels. As wind flows over this element, cools down proportionally to the wind speed, causing a change in voltage. A constant current source supplies power to the heating element, while the sensor circuit measures the resulting voltage caused by cooling. This analog signal is then sent to a signal conditioning circuit that amplifies and filters the data before transmitting to the processing module. The microcontroller then processes this data to determine the wind speed in real time.

[0041] A protective cover is mounted over each sewer grill via Scott Russell arrangement 128, to safeguard from excessive debris, weather impacts and potential blockages, for enhancing the overall efficiency of the drainage channels. The protective cover is composed of multiple interconnected plates 126 joined via motorized hinge joints 127 that allow to open or close based on real-time environmental conditions. Upon detection of environmental condition by the communicatively coupled weather station, the processing module actuates the Scott Russell arrangement 128 that consists of a pivoting input arm, a fixed base joint and a straight-guided output bar linked directly to the cover. A motor drives the input arm, which rotates around the fixed pivot point. One end of this arm is connected to the straight-guided output bar, constrained to move along a linear path by guide tracks. As the arm pivots, motion is transferred to the output bar causing to slide linearly.

[0042] This linear motion drives the connected plates 126 of the protective cover along a linear trajectory. Simultaneously, the processing module actuates the motorized hinge joint 127 that consists of a compact electric motor, a gear drive and a hinge joint 127 to enable precise angular movement. When an electrical signal is received, the motor generates rotational force (torque). This torque is transmitted through the gear drive, which reduces motor speed while increasing torque output for controlled, powerful movement. The gears drive the hinge joint 127, rotating to a desired angle for enabling the cover to open or close with controlled alignment based on the detected weather conditions. During heavy rainfall, the cover opens to maximize water intake for efficient drainage, preventing surface flooding, reducing pressure on surrounding infrastructure and ensuring uninterrupted flow into the sewer channels, while in dry or windy conditions, the cover close to prevent dust, leaves and other debris from entering the sewer channels for maintaining cleanliness, reducing blockages and minimizing maintenance requirements.

[0043] A set of automated cleaning tools is mounted on the platform 101 to actively clean the sewer grills based on the detected level of water logging on the road. The automated cleaning tools includes a storage box 103 mounted on a horizontal slider 104 via hydraulic piston bar 105, for cleaning and removing debris from blocked sewer grills. To enhance mobility and reach, a motorized ball and socket joint 106 is installed between the storage box 103 and the piston bar 105 for allowing multi-directional movement, including tilting and rotation. When the 360-degree AI-powered camera 102 and the ultrasonic sensor identify the type, size and location of the debris blocking the sewer grill, which causes excessive water accumulation due to the blockage, the processing module actuates the horizontal slider 104 that comprises a motor coupled with a lead screw arrangement, which converts rotational motion into precise circular movement. Upon receiving electric current from the microcontroller, the motor drives the lead screw, causing a carriage mounted on a rail to move smoothly along a track.

[0044] This controlled linear motion enables the piston bar 105 attached to the carriage to slide precisely towards the blocked grill. Once positioned, the processing unit actuates the hydraulic piston bar 105 that works based on fluid dynamics, using pressurized hydraulic fluid to generate force and control movement. The piston is housed in a cylinder, with one side connected to the storage box 103. When hydraulic fluid is pumped into the cylinder via a control valve, enters one side of the piston, creating pressure that forces the bar 105 to position accurately over the affected grill area. Simultaneously, the processing module actuates the ball-and-socket joint 106 that includes a spherical ball enclosed within a socket and driven by multiple small electric motors, positioned orthogonally around the joints 106. Each motor is linked to the socket via gear drive, allowing to apply torque to tilt or rotate the ball along specific axes. When the motor is activated by the microcontroller, drives the gear drive to push or pull against the ball’s surface, causing the ball to pivot or rotate within the socket for allowing the bar 105 to pivot, tilt and rotate for precise angular adjustments in both vertical and horizontal planes with ease, ensuring thorough cleaning of debris from blocked sewer grills.

[0045] The storage box 103 includes a clamp 110 is mounted on an expandable bar 111 via motorized ball-and-socket joint 112, to grab and lift large debris obstructing the sewer grill. After positioning, the processing module actuates the expandable bar 111 which works by pneumatic unit that works same as above mentioned, to reach over the debris. Simultaneously, the processing module actuates the motorized ball-and-socket joint 112 that works in similar manner as mentioned above, to ensure precise alignment in respect to irregularly shaped of debris. Once reached, the processing module actuates the clamp 110 that is driven by a servo motor connected to a gear arrangement to convert rotational motion into linear movement to move the clamp jaws. The gripping surfaces of the jaws are developed to enhance grip on the debris, ensuring accurate handling and secure placement for lifting away from the sewer area. The debris is then either placed in a designated collection zone or moved off the road to restore proper drainage flow.

[0046] The storage box 103 includes also includes a sharp rod 113 is mounted on an expandable bar 114 via a motorized ball and socket joint 115, to dislodge stubborn debris or puncture solid obstacles blocking the sewer grill. Once larger debris is identified and removed by the clamp 110, the processing module actuates the expandable bar 114 which works by pneumatic unit that works same as above mentioned, to positioned over the blocked region to perform puncturing or scraping motions, depending on the nature of the blockage. This helps tackle any remaining compacted material or resistant obstructions hindering water flow into the sewer. Simultaneously, the processing module actuates the motorized ball-and-socket joint 115 that works in similar manner as mentioned above, to ensure precise alignment for accessing hard-to-reach or tightly lodged debris. This maintains unobstructed sewer grills during high-risk conditions such as heavy rainfall, where even minor blockages lead to significant waterlogging.

[0047] The storage box 103 includes also includes a rotating brush 107 is mounted on an expandable bar 108 via a motorized ball and socket joint 109, to scrub and clean the surface of the sewer grill after the removal of compacted or tightly lodged debris. Once the remaining blockages are dislodged, the processing module actuates the expandable bar 108 which works by pneumatic unit that works same as above mentioned, to reach over the sewer grill. Simultaneously, the processing module actuates the motorized ball-and-socket joint 109 that works in similar manner as mentioned above, to ensure precise alignment in respect to the shaped of sewer grill. Once positioned, the processing module actuates the rotating brush 107 that consists of a motor connected to the brush head via a gear drive, providing the necessary torque to rotate the brush 107 at a consistent speed to perform scrubbing for effective cleaning of sewer grill surface for removing any remaining contaminants. This ensures a complete and detailed cleaning, significantly reducing the risk of clogging and enhancing drainage efficiency.

[0048] A proximity sensor is integrated on the platform 101 to detect and manage the exact positioning and alignment of cleaning tools during operation. The proximity sensor works when an infrared LED continuously emits invisible IR light in a specific direction. When the cleaning tools such as the clamp 110, sharp rod 113 or rotating brush 107 approaches the surface or debris enters the sensor’s detection range, this light reflects off the tool's surface and returns toward the receiver. The photodiode detects the reflected IR light and converts into a small electrical current. This signal is then passed to the processing module, which amplifies and analyzes the reflected signal to determine the presence, proximity and exact distance between the tool and the target. This allows each tool to operate only when properly aligned, ensuring accurate debris removal and preventing unintended contact or damage to the sewer grill.

[0049] A LiDAR sensor is integrated on the platform 101 to continuously monitor and analyze road conditions with high precision, focusing on detecting waterlogging, potholes, erosion and the overall severity of road surface degradation. The LiDAR sensor consists of laser emitter that generates rapid pulses of laser light directed toward the road surface. A scanning unit, using a rotating mirror distributes these pulses across a wide field, covering the road area surrounding the sewer grills. When the laser pulses hit the solid ground, water or debris they are reflected back to the sensor. The timing circuitry measures the time taken for each pulse to return, known as the time of flight and calculates the exact distance to each point. This raw distance data is sent to the signal processing unit, which reconstructs a detailed 3D point cloud of the road’s surface, identifying height variations, potholes, waterlogged zones or signs of erosion.

[0050] A holographic projector 116 is mounted on the platform 101 to provide real-time, on-ground visual guidance for various types of road users during adverse conditions such as waterlogging, potholes, and erosion. This is developed to project dynamic visual cues such as navigation arrows, path lines or caution zones directly onto the road surface, making guidance immediately visible to drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Upon receiving input data from the camera 102, ultrasonic sensors and LiDAR sensor regarding road conditions such as water accumulation, potholes, erosion, and overall severity, the processing module activates the holographic projector 116 that works by using a combination of a high-intensity light source, a digital light processing (DLP) unit or liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) panel, beam shaping optics and a projection lens arrangement. The light source generates a powerful beam that passes through the DLP or LCoS module, where microscopic mirrors or liquid crystals modulate the light to form dynamic visual content such as arrows or path lines. This modulated light is then refined by beam shaping optics to ensure clarity and directional accuracy.

[0051] The projection lens assembly focuses and projects the final image directly onto the road surface with high precision. The projector 116 dynamically adjusts output to reflect the safest, most efficient path for users, even as conditions change. For instance, during heavy rainfall, the processing module detects waterlogged zones and instantly signals to reroute traffic by projecting alternative paths to avoid flooded or damaged areas. The holographic projector 116 adapts in both direction and intensity, ensuring visibility in varying lighting and weather conditions. This real-time, adaptive projection enhances safety by reducing confusion and minimizing the risk of accidents, particularly in urban environments where drainage failure or poor visibility can compromise traffic flow.

[0052] A light sensor is integrated on the platform 101 to detect ambient light intensity in the surrounding environment allowing to respond for changing visibility conditions. The light sensor works by using a photodetector, signal amplifier, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and output interface to detect ambient light intensity. The photodetector, normally a photodiode or phototransistor, responds to the surrounding light levels by generating a small electrical current proportional to the light’s brightness. This current is then sent to a signal amplifier, which boosts the signal strength for further processing. The amplified signal passes through an ADC, which converts the analog voltage into a digital value, this digital output is transmitted to the processing module to determine real-time light intensity of the surrounding environment.

[0053] Multiple focus lights 117 are mounted on the platform 101 via a hydraulic piston bar 118, to provide targeted illumination of hazardous areas on the road, especially during low-visibility conditions such as night time, fog or heavy rain. The focus light is connected to the bar via a ball-and-socket joint 119, which allows multi-directional movement including rotation, tilt and elevation to dynamically target detected areas of concern such as potholes, debris, or water-logged sections. When the light intensity drops below a predefined threshold as detected by the light sensor, indicating poor visibility, the processing module actuates the hydraulic piston bar 118 which works in similar manner as mentioned above, to enable extension and retraction, allowing the light to be positioned at optimal height. Simultaneously, the processing module actuates the ball-and-socket joint 119 that works in similar manner as mentioned above, aligning their angle and orientation for maximum coverage. Once positioned, the processing module activates the multiple focus lights 117 by using an LED bulb operates by driving the LED with a regulated power supply that ensures a constant current to maintain brightness and longevity.

[0054] The LED is made from semiconductor materials, emits light when electrons recombine with holes, producing high-efficiency illumination. A heat sink attached to the LED manages thermal dissipation, preventing overheating and maintaining stable operation. The light output is concentrated using a precision-designed optical lens that shapes and channels the emitted light, minimizing dispersion and losses. By controlling the beam angle and focus, concentrates the rays into a narrow, intense beam, significantly improving illumination and range towards specific hazards such as potholes or waterlogged sections. By enhancing visibility in poorly lit environments, the lights 117 improve safety for all road users, including vehicle drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and maintenance crews. The adaptive lighting ensures that critical hazards remain visible even when natural light is insufficient, reducing the risk of accidents or damage.

[0055] A sun sensor is integrated on the platform 101 to accurately detect the position of the sun in real time. The sun sensor works by using an array of photodetector elements arranged on a planar surface, each oriented at different angles to capture sunlight from various directions. As sunlight hits the sensor, each photodetector generates an electrical current proportional to the light intensity it receives. These analog signals are fed into a signal conditioning circuit that amplifies and normalizes the data. The conditioned signals are then processed by the processing module, which compares the intensity levels from all photodetectors to calculate the sun’s precise angles to have a real-time update on the sun’s position.

[0056] Multiple solar panels 120 are mounted on the platform 101 via hydraulic piston bars 121 to harness solar energy for powering various components of the system. Each solar panel is connected to respective piston bar 121 via a ball-and-socket joints arrangement 122, which enables multi-directional movement allowing the panel to tilt, rotate and elevate as needed to ensure that the solar panels 120 align themselves with the sun’s position throughout the day for optimal energy absorption. The sun sensor detects the sun’s position and accordingly, the processing module evaluates the ideal orientation for each solar panel and transmits actuation commands to the hydraulic piston bar 121 which works in similar manner as mentioned above, to enable extension and retraction, allowing the panel to be positioned at optimal height.

[0057] Simultaneously, the processing module actuates the ball-and-socket joints arrangement 122 that works in similar manner as mentioned above, aligning their angle and orientation for maximum sunlight coverage. Once positioned, the processing module actuates the solar panel that works by converting sunlight into electrical energy using photovoltaic (PV) cells, made from semiconductor materials like silicon. When exposed to sunlight, these cells absorb photons, which excite electrons and generate a flow of direct current (DC) electricity. This energy is then either used immediately to power connected electronic components or stored in a rechargeable battery for later use. As the sun moves across the sky, the panels 120 reposition in real-time to maintain optimal alignment and consistent power delivery.

[0058] The battery is associated with the system for powering up electrical and electronically operated components associated with the system and supplying a voltage to the components. The battery used herein is preferably a Lithium-ion battery which is a rechargeable unit that demands power supply after getting drained. The battery stores the electric current derived from an external source in the form of chemical energy, which when required by the electronic component of the system, derives the required power from the battery for proper functioning of the system.

[0059] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the multiple horizontal telescopic rods 123 as disclosed in the invention forms the horizontal rectangular sewer grill, whose extension and retraction are regulated by the ultrasonic sensor upon detecting rising water levels, signals the processing module to regulate the extension of telescopic rods 123 for maintain efficient drainage. Simultaneously, the 360-degree AI-powered camera 102 and LiDAR sensor continuously monitor for debris, waterlogging, potholes, and erosion, while the communicatively coupled weather station provides real-time data on rainfall, humidity, temperature and wind speed. Based on this input, the protective cover consists of multiple plates 126 connected via motorized hinge joints 127 and guided by the Scott Russell arrangement 128, opens to allow maximum water intake. The water extraction assembly, consisting of expandable conduits 124 with iris-lids, is actuated next. These conduits 124 extend or retract and draw water using the high-capacity pump 125, while the iris-lid ensures one-way flow and transforms the conduit 124 into a high-pressure jet when blockages are detected.

[0060] In continuation, for more complex debris, the automated cleaning tools are installed on the platform 101, including a rotating brush 107, clamp 110 and sharp rod 113 all attached to the storage box 103 and is mounted on the horizontal slider 104 via hydraulic piston bar 105 and motorized ball-and-socket joint 106 are deployed, activated by the processing module and guided by the proximity sensor for precise positioning. In low visibility or night time conditions, the light sensor detect surrounding light intensity and based on those signals to activates multiple focus lights 117, mounted on hydraulic piston bars 118 with ball-and-socket joints 119, to illuminate hazardous zones. Concurrently, the holographic projector 116 dynamically projects navigation paths or hazard alerts onto the road surface, rerouting traffic around unsafe areas. Power for all components is sustainably supplied by multiple solar panels 120 mounted on hydraulic piston bars 121 and motorized ball-and-socket joints arrangement 122, which track the sun’s position as detected by the sun sensor. All data and system functions are communicated in real-time via the Wi-Fi module, enabling remote monitoring, updates, and emergency response.
