Automated Fuel System Using RFID Technology

Abstract: This paper presents a fuel dispensing system based on RFID technology. The system can improve the fuel-filling process in order to make it much easier, secure, and more reliable. It prevents unauthorized fuel filling by assigning a specified amount of fuel for registered vehicles, depending on their types, within a specific time period so that each vehicle will get a sufficient amount of fuel. It also provides efficient statistics about the various quantities of fuel at the stations. The system was implemented at the Oil Products Distribution Companies. This research paper presents the development and implementation of an automated fuel dispensing system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, integrated with a display module, relay module, keyboard, At mega 2560 microcontroller, RFID cards and readers, and a pump motor. The system aims to streamline fuel management processes at fuel stations by automating vehicle identification, balance verification, and fuel dispensing. At the fuel station, users swipe their RFID cards on reader module to start the process of filling gas. The system confirms the validity of card and fetches info from central database that is specifically a balance information of user. The customer balance is a function for display module to show the available credit of user and adjust fuel filling amount, keyboard orders.
