Automated Vehicle Identification Fuelling

Precision Fuel

FUEL MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

AUTOMATED VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION FUELLING

STEP 1

The vehicle is identified automatically at the entry to the filling station.

STEP 2

Every time the nozzle is inserted into the fuel tank inlet, vehicle usage
data is transmitted via an antennae to the vehicle ID Box (VIB), and then
to the local retail POS system.

STEP 3

The information is checked online. The system will ensure that the correct quantity and fuel type has been selected. If the information is accepted the VIB turns on the selected hose to enable fuel flow.

STEP 4

Following fueling, the station controller will register the fuel amount, time, date, vehicle number, fleet number and account number.

STEP 5

Detailed reports of fuel consumption are generated. The Fleet manager
and the oil company may customize reports to their requirements per vehicle, fleet, filling station, month, etc

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION BOX (VIB)

The VIB is a vehicle-mounted computer which authorizes use of the dispenser. It contains the system and vehicle identification information, fuel type authorization and  transaction limitation code. This information transmitted via the RF Antenna to the VSU every time the nozzle is inserted into the fuel tank inlet.

FUEL INLET ANTENNA (FIA)

The Fuel Inlet Antenna is an antenna that mounted to the vehicle’s fuel tank inlet. It connects to the VIB with shielded cable and receives nozzle tag information to the VIB.

NOZZLE TAG

The Nozzle Tag is a transceiver that can be installed on all types of fuel nozzle. Sleep mode is the default state of the Nozzle Tag. It is activated by the VIB every time the nozzle is inserted in to the fuel tank inlet. The Nozzle Tag is battery powered.

RADIO TRANSCEIVER (RFU)

The RFU is installed up high in the center  of the fueling island. It is wireless modem that transmits data between the VSU and the VIB installed in the vehicle, via the RF Antenna.

COMMUNICATION ADAPTOR (VSU)

The VSU is placed in at the fueling station office and connected to the local retail POS system via the TCP/IP communication. It scans the fuel station area using RF communication, searching for the vehicles. It senses the vehicle only when the dispenser nozzle is approached to the vehicle fuel tank inlet. The VSU reports two kinds of events: the insertion and the removal of the nozzle from the fuel tank inlet.
