This study proposes a system that, using Internet access, should enable remote fuel level checks independent of the location of the vehicle. The system uses a sensor that continuously measures the gasoline level in a vehicle tank and connects to a microcontroller input. The Internet of Things (IoT) implementation provides real-time fuel monitoring with the aid of the sensor, which in turn is processed by the microcontroller and then sent through the Internet to the smartphone module of the vehicle owner. The IoT-based vehicle fuel theft detection system offers a reliable and efficient solution for monitoring and detecting fuel theft, to vehicle owners and fleet management companies. The system’s ability to detect unauthorized fuel flow and alert the user through the Internet makes it an ideal solution to the problem of vehicle fuel theft.
Grillis (2022) stated that the term Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected computing devices, digital and mechanical gadgets, items, animals, or people that can transfer data over a network without the need for human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Carruthers (2014) characterized IoT as the next phase in Internet evolution that establishes a connection between the Internet and a wide range of heterogeneous devices, from consumer electronics like mobile phones and wearables to industrial sensors and actuators. Salim et al. (2022) stated that the IoT is a rapidly emerging field that promises to provide us with amazing future possibilities. It is a technology that deals with granting physical things remote control over the Internet.
