This paper presents a fuel dispensing system based on RFID technology. The system can improve the fueling process in order to make it much easier, secure and reliable. It prevents unauthorized fueling by assigning a specified amount of fuel for registered vehicles, depending on their types, within a specific period of time 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 Company, The Distribution of Baghdad. It uses ELA816B RFID reader with its passive tags. It has a software application, built using VB.Net, for registration of customers, updating their accounts and charging them for the designated amount of fuel. The hardware part of this system consists of a microcontroller, card relay, LCD and other basic electronic components, and it is attached to conventional fuel dispensers in order to make them work under the RFID technology. The system uses a centralized database to allow fuel stations to share the same data about vehicles and related balance. Additional features of this system include a website and a phone application, which allow customers to login to their accounts.
Nowadays, there are no accurate records of the various quantities of fuel being dispensed at the Iraqi fuel stations. All such reports are usually paper-based and are missing the required precision to control this valuable commodity, which could lead to misuse or illegal sale of fuel. This paper presents a control system based on RFID technology to monitor the supply and dispensing of vehicle fuel in Baghdad. The system consists of RFID readers attached to fuel dispensers and pumps, and RFID tags assigned to the vehicles and the trucks used for delivering fuel to the fuel stations. A hardware part is connected to conventional fuel dispensers and machines, located at both the stations and the fuel refineries or depots, which makes them work under the control of the RFID system, without the need to rebuild new dispensers. The designed system database is a centralized one located on a cloud server, in order to allow fuel stations to communicate with it and do the required transactions. Throughout this system, different reports can be generated, which can give important online statistics about the movement of fuel supplies over the city.
