Anomaly detection and controlling operations of fuel dispensing terminal during operations

A method comprising:

• detecting a first fuel dispensing operation that indicates fuel is being dispensed from a fuel dispensing terminal;
• performing the following operations at each predetermined time interval from among a plurality of predetermined time intervals within a threshold wait period, wherein each predetermined time interval is associated with a unit time parameter:
• determining an identifier value associated with a volume of fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal, wherein the identifier value is a cost of the volume of fuel dispensed;
• determining a measured volume per unit time parameter associated with fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal by dividing the determined identifier value by a unit parameter, wherein the unit parameter is a fuel cost per unit fuel volume;
• comparing the measured volume per unit time parameter with a threshold volume per unit time parameter, wherein the threshold volume per unit time parameter associated with fuel to be dispensed from a fuel dispensing terminal during a fuel dispensing operation;
• determining that the measured volume per unit time parameter is less than the threshold volume per unit time parameter;
• and
• in response to determining that the measured volume per unit time parameter is less than the threshold volume per unit time parameter, stopping dispensing fuel.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• detect a first fuel dispensing operation that indicates fuel is being dispensed from a fuel dispensing terminal;
• perform the following operations at each predetermined time interval from among a plurality of predetermined time intervals within a threshold wait period, wherein each predetermined time interval is associated with a unit time parameter:
• determine an identifier value associated with a volume of fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal, wherein the identifier value is a cost of the volume of fuel dispensed;
• determine a measured volume per unit time parameter associated with fuel dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal by dividing the determined identifier value by a unit parameter, wherein the unit parameter is a fuel cost per unit fuel volume;
• compare the measured volume per unit time parameter with a threshold volume per unit time parameter, wherein the threshold volume per unit time parameter associated with fuel to be dispensed from the fuel dispensing terminal during a fuel dispensing operation;
• determine that the measured volume per unit time parameter is less than the threshold volume per unit time parameter;
• and
• in response to determining that the measured volume per unit time parameter is less than the threshold volume per unit time parameter, stop dispensing fuel.
