Systems and methods for detecting error in odometer reading

A method comprising:

• estimating, by a processor, a first distance travelled by a vehicle wheel associated with a vehicle for a predefined time duration on a vehicle trip, based on first inputs associated with the vehicle wheel measured by a first sensor;
• estimating, by the processor, a second distance travelled by the vehicle wheel for the predefined time duration on the vehicle trip, based on second inputs associated with the vehicle wheel measured by a second sensor;
• calculating, by the processor, a first difference between the second distance and the first distance;
• performing, by the processor, a predefined action when the first difference is greater than a first predefined threshold;
• and
• storing a count of mileage error instances on the vehicle trip in a memory, and wherein the predefined action comprises increasing the count of mileage error instances by one mileage error instance unit when the first difference is greater than the first predefined threshold.

A vehicle comprising:

• a first sensor configured to measure first inputs associated with a vehicle wheel;
• a second sensor configured to measure second inputs associated with the vehicle wheel;
• an odometer configured to determine a first total distance travelled by the vehicle wheel on the vehicle trip based on the first inputs;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled with the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein the processor is configured to:
• estimate a first distance travelled by the vehicle wheel for a predefined time duration on a vehicle trip based on the first inputs;
• estimate a second distance travelled by the vehicle wheel for the predefined time duration on the vehicle trip based on the second inputs;
• calculate a first difference between the second distance and the first distance;
• and
• perform a predefined action when the first difference is greater than a first predefined threshold;
• detect that the vehicle trip has ended;
• estimate a second total distance travelled by the vehicle wheel on the vehicle trip based on the second inputs, responsive to detecting that the vehicle trip has ended;
• determine a second difference between the second total distance and the first total distance;
• and
• output a second error notification when the second difference is greater than a third predefined threshold.

• and
• estimate a second total distance travelled by the vehicle wheel on the vehicle trip based on the second inputs, responsive to detecting that the vehicle trip has ended,
• wherein the processor detects that the vehicle trip has ended when a vehicle engine is switched off or the vehicle is stationary for more than a predefined stationary time duration.
