MUMBAI, India, Jan. 3 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511102377 A) filed by Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, on Oct. 24, 2025, for 'ai-based iot and digital twin fuel theft prediction and prevention system for vehicles.'

Inventor(s) include Abdul Malik Ansari.

The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention provides an AI-based IoT and Digital Twin system (100) for predictive detection and prevention of fuel theft in vehicles. The system comprises a network of IoT sensors (102) including fuel level sensors, flow meters, GPS modules, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and optional environmental sensors. A preprocessing onboard controller (104) filters, timestamps, and encrypts sensor data for secure transmission. A digital twin module (106) models expected fuel consumption based on driver behavior, terrain, load, and historical profiles. An AI prediction engine (108) analyzes deviations to classify risks and triggers a theft prevention module (110) that executes countermeasures, including fuel valve locking, engine immobilization, and alerts. Data is securely stored in a cloud backend (114) with reporting and audit capabilities (116) accessible via operator dashboards (118), enabling proactive, safe, and efficient fleet management."
