System for securing fuel in vehicles using IoT devices

A system (100) for securing fuel of motor vehicles using Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the system (100) comprising:

• a) a control device (101) mounted on a lid of a fuel tank to control opening and closing of the lid from remote places, wherein the control device (101) further comprises:
• a plurality of IoT sensors of the IOT devices connected to a microcontroller unit (205) to measure fuel level at regular intervals of time and transmits a measured fuel level data to the microcontroller unit (205), wherein the microcontroller unit (205) transmits the measured fuel level data to an application (105) installed onto a mobile device (104);
• a motor (207) integrated with the micro controller unit (205), to lock and unlock the lid of the fuel tank on receiving a signal from an authorized user of the vehicle;
• a camera module (209) to detect any tampering or damaging activity on the control device (101);
• a keypad to allow driver of a vehicle to enter a dynamic password to unlock the lid of the fuel tank, when the control device (101) is unable to receive signals from the authorized user;
• b) the application (105) installed onto the mobile device (104) of the authorized user receives an alert signal when the control device (101) is tampered or damaged;
• and
• c) a cloud based database server (103) for storing and analyzing the data collected from the mobile device (104) of the authorized user and the control unit (205).
