FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Computer Science & Engineering

In today’s world, actual record of fuel filled and fuel consumption in vehicles is not maintained. It results in a financial loss. To avoid this, we are implementing a microcontroller-based fuel monitoring and vehicle tracking system. We have used the reed switch which works according to the principle of Hall Effect for sensing the amount of fuel filled in the vehicle and amount of fuel consumed. Then this record is stored in the system memory. This system stores the record for several logs. We have used a microcontroller for our system. Also, we have used the GPS technology to track the vehicle. In this paper, the implementation of embedded control system based on the microcontroller is presented. The embedded control system can achieve many tasks of the effective fleet management, such as fuel monitoring, vehicle tracking. Using GPS vehicle tracking technology and viewing interactive maps enable us to see where it was losing money, time and wasting fuel (such as on duplicated journeys). Fleet tracking is scalable by design and interfaces with the logistics industry’s leading back-office systems. Rising fuel costs constantly challenge fleet operators to maintain movement of vehicles and monitor driver activity to avoid delaying traffic conditions by either, combining deliveries, reconfiguring routes or rescheduling time and distance. Escalating oil prices are increasing costs for many businesses, particularly those with large vehicle fleets, adding a powerful financial impetus to the search for fuel efficiencies. Implementing real-time vehicle tracking as part of a commercial company’s mobile resource management policy is essential for comprehensive operational control, remote driver security and fuel savings. Almost all of the public have their own vehicle. Now-a-days fuel theft is happening in the parking and vehicle security becomes a challenging thing.
