Abstract
In one aspect, image data characterizing a video feed acquired by a camera oriented toward and including a field of view, of a forecourt of a dispensing station, that includes a dispenser and a vehicle can be received. Movement data indicating that the vehicle is physically connected to the dispenser while the vehicle is in motion can be determined from the received image data. A command can be determined based on the determined movement data. The command can be provided. Related apparatus, systems, methods, techniques, and articles are also described.

A method comprising:
- receiving image data characterizing a video feed acquired by a camera oriented toward and including a field of view of a forecourt of a dispensing station including at least one dispenser operably coupled to a forecourt controller configured to manage operation of the dispensing station, the field of view including the at least one dispenser and a vehicle;
- determining, from the received image data, movement data indicating that the vehicle is physically connected to the at least one dispenser while the vehicle is in motion;
- determining one or more commands based on the determined movement data;
- providing a first command to an alarm system having at least one speaker oriented toward the forecourt, the first command causing the at least one speaker to emit an audio message indicative of movement of the vehicle while physically connected to the at least one dispenser;
- providing a second command to the forecourt controller, the second command identifying the at least one dispenser to be deactivated;
- disabling, by the forecourt controller and responsive to receiving the second command, a flow of fuel to the at least one dispenser identified in the second command;
- generating a notification indicative of movement of the vehicle while the vehicle is physically connected to the at least one dispenser, the notification generated based on the provided second command and including a visual depiction of the movement of the vehicle while the vehicle is physically connected to the at least one dispenser;
- and
- providing the notification for display on an end user device, wherein the end user device is a fueling station terminal operably coupled to the at least one dispenser via the forecourt controller, the fueling station terminal including an interactive display of the forecourt controller.

A system comprising:
- at least one data processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions configured to cause the at least one data processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving image data characterizing a video feed acquired by a camera oriented toward and including a field of view of a forecourt of a dispensing station including at least one dispenser operably coupled to a forecourt controller configured to manage operation of the dispensing station, the field of view including the at least one dispenser and a vehicle;
- determining, from the received image data, movement data indicating that the vehicle is physically connected to the at least one dispenser while the vehicle is in motion;
- determining one or more commands based on the determined movement data;
- providing a first command to an alarm system having at least one speaker oriented toward the forecourt, the first command causing the at least one speaker to emit an audio message indicative of movement of the vehicle while physically connected to the at least one dispenser;
- providing a second command to the forecourt controller, the second command identifying the at least one dispenser to be deactivated;
- disabling, by the forecourt controller and responsive to receiving the second command, a flow of fuel to the at least one dispenser identified in the second command;
- generating a notification indicative of movement of the vehicle while the vehicle is physically connected to the at least one dispenser, the notification generated based on the provided second command and including a visual depiction of the movement of the vehicle while the vehicle is physically connected to the at least one dispenser;
- and
- providing the notification for display on an end user device, wherein the end user device is a fueling station terminal operably coupled to the at least one dispenser via the forecourt controller, the fueling station terminal including an interactive display of the forecourt controller.

A non-transitory computer program product storing instructions which, when executed by at least one data processor forming part of at least one computing system, cause the at least one data processor to implement operations comprising:
- receiving data characterizing a video feed acquired by a camera oriented toward and including a field of view of a forecourt of a dispensing station including at least one dispenser operably coupled to a forecourt controller configured to manage operation of the dispensing station, the field of view including the at least one dispenser and a vehicle;
- determining, from the received data, movement data indicating that the vehicle is physically connected to the at least one dispenser while the vehicle is in motion;
- determining one or more commands based on the determined movement data;
- providing a first command to an alarm system having at least one speaker oriented toward the forecourt, the first command causing the at least one speaker to emit an audio message indicative of movement of the vehicle while physically connected to the at least one dispenser;
- providing a second command to the forecourt controller, the second command identifying the at least one dispenser to be deactivated;
- disabling, by the forecourt controller and responsive to receiving the second command, a flow of fuel to the at least one dispenser identified in the second command;
- generating a notification indicative of movement of the vehicle while the vehicle is physically connected to the at least one dispenser, the notification generated based on the provided second command and including a visual depiction of movement of the vehicle while the vehicle is physically connected to the at least one dispenser;
- and
- providing the notification for display on an end user device, wherein the end user device is a fueling station terminal operably coupled to the at least one dispenser via the forecourt controller, the fueling station terminal including an interactive display of the forecourt controller.
