US 2026/0311522 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING VEHICLE FUEL CONSUMPTION PATTERNS USING MULTI-SOURCE DATA CORRELATION

Abstract

The techniques described herein relate to a system including: a vehicle including: a fuel container; a vehicle gateway device coupled to a fuel level sensor configured to generate fuel level signals and configured to transmit fuel level sensor data; and a camera system configured to capture driver identification data; and a remote computing system including a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive the fuel level sensor data from the vehicle gateway device; collect fluid dispensing event data; compare changes in the fuel level sensor data with fluid volume amounts to establish a sensor calibration ratio; identify maximum fill patterns across multiple fluid level change events; compute a confidence score based on consistency of the maximum fill patterns; determine a container capacity when the confidence score exceeds a threshold; and validate fluid dispensing operations using the container capacity.
