Abstract

In many existing systems, almost all petrol pumps have a controlling unit to perform duties like managing the electrical pump, driving the display, measuring the flow and turning OFF the electrical pump accordingly. However, a person is still required to perform a manual process, such as collecting money, and there is a possibility of many human errors. Thus, this petrol pump automation system uses radio frequency identification (RFID) cards to access or purchase fuels at different petrol stations of various companies. The system consists of a microcontroller, RFID module, liquid crystal display (LCD), keypad, direct current (DC) motor, green LED and a buzzer. In order to fill the tank from the fuel dispenser, a user has to position the RFID card near the RFID reader. Then, the microcontroller reads the data from the reader and executes the action according to the customer's requirement. The outcome of the proposed project is a development of a prototype or a conceptual project of the petrol pump automation system by utilising RFID technology. This digital petrol pump system is hoped to provide better security to customers by minimizing human error, while reducing the danger of carrying cash every time.
