Systems and methods for identifying and mitigating lug nut loosening

One or more tangible non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions for performing a computer process on a computing system, the computer process comprising:

• detecting a loose lug nut in a wheel of a vehicle, the loose lug nut detected using an indication system, the indication system having an indicator associated with the loose lug nut and a circuit formed between the indicator and an adjacent indicator, the loose lug nut detected in response to a rotation of at least one of the indicator or the adjacent indicator, the rotation causing the circuit to break;
• generating a notification regarding the loose lug nut;
• and
• outputting the notification.

A system for indicating a lug nut that is loose, the lug nut corresponding to a wheel of a vehicle, the system comprising:

• an indicator body of an indicator, the indicator body having a top surface connecting a front surface and a back surface;
• a first side of the indicator body disposed opposite a second side of the indicator body;
• and
• a receiver extending from the top surface into an interior of the indicator body, the receiver configured to form a translational relationship of the lug nut with the indicator through a mating fit of the lug nut within the receiver, the mating fit created by a clamp engaging an external surface of the receiver to secure a sleeve and the lug nut within the receiver, the translational relationship generating a corresponding rotation of the indicator body in response to a rotation of the lug nut, the corresponding rotation of the indicator body providing an indication that the lug nut is loose.
