A System Design for the Regulated Distribution of Automotive Fuel Using RFID

摘要

The purpose of this paper is proposing an ideology to compensate for the exorbitant consumption of automotive fuel and indirectly encourage travel by means of public transport and/or car pooling. Here, a transparent and egalitarian system for fuel distribution and regulation is introduced. The majority of the system construction and implementation is in a petrol dispensing unit, where-in there is an application processor connected to a cloud database containing pertinent details regarding fuel consumption of every automobile owner who has officially registered himself/herself to this modified system. Upon registration, a fuel-limit-per-month is established for the particular user. For data retrieving and manipulation in real time, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is chosen. RFID tags, each with a unique number ID are printed on every user's Registration Certificate (RC). This information is scanned by readers on the dispensing units and used to retrieve fuel consumption details of the user from the centralized database via the local servers. According to the allowance of fuel limit, fuel is discharged to the user. This system, though a little inflexible, is an efficacious way to ensure sustained use of fuel.
