Vehicle Fuel Monitoring and Management using RFID authentication and Telematics Notification : An automated petrol refueling notifying system

摘要

This paper indicates a design in which a system will be capable to trace a vehicle's petrol refill amount, cost & time then notifies the vehicle's owner about the refill as well. The system is divided into two parts: A mobile application and a petrol pump. The users will use the mobile app to register themselves to the system and control their accounts. The users will also have an RFID which will work as a prepaid card. They can recharge the card from any authorized recharge point. The deduction of fuel from the pump for each individual will be automatic after scanning the RFID card and providing a unique password. Cost of fuel will be charged from the RFID card and at the same time, the user will be notified via realtime email technology. All the information of transactions (e.g. refill amount, refill type, refill cost, current balance, previous balance, transaction time etc.) will be sent to a database through Wi-Fi technology. This system has interconnected the pump and the mobile app by a central and secure database so that they can communicate between themselves. The database is accessible from any corner across the world and the users will be able to trace their account through the mobile application at anytime from anywhere. This system can also measure the level of fuel inside the petrol bunk. The goal of this system is to avoid dishonesty of pump laborers & car drivers toward the car owners and provide a secure fuel monitoring method with low labor cost.
