IoT Based Petrol Bunk Management for Self-Operation Using RFID and Raspberry Pi

Abstract

This paper emphasis on designing a system which can spontaneously dispense the fuel and deduct the amount from prepaid RFID card. Here, all users will have their own RFID cards which are recharged by prepaid amounts. The dispenser in the fuel station is installed with RFID reader which reads the RFID card and displays the available balance on LCD display unit. The user will enter the desired amount of fuel using the keypad, the system will calculate the time of operation for the electrical fuel pump and initiates the operation of fuel dispensing. The system will automatically shuts down the pump after reaching the user’s desired value. It is combined with raspberry pi module which sends notification to the user through mobile application. Added to that, this system has fire sensor to detect fire accidents and purity sensor to check the purity of the fuel. Hence this work will make the petrol bunk management system with no boundaries and reduced manpower.
