Advanced fuel level tracking system using telematic unit

Telematics is an eminent technology which merges telecommunications and informatics. This blending of wireless telecommunication technologies along with computers is done ostensibly with the goal of conveying information over vast networks to handle vehicle information. The entire system consists of TeCU Telematics Control Unit, server and webpage application to monitor and to sense ample information's received from vehicle over the air. Telematics Control Unit (TeCU) has to be designed and developed, which could be used in real time and off time monitoring, tracking and reporting system. TeCU is mounted in the vehicles and it's implemented with GSM/GPRS for tracking to communicate with server. The user can create a webpage application and monitor the vehicle update information's and mappings with fine precision. Thus, system provides adequate information to fleet operator regarding route/direction taken by driver, stoppages, high acceleration, vehicle location, speed, idle mode, AC ON or OFF, vehicles unit information's, RPM, sudden braking, date, time, etc. All these vehicle information's from TeCU could be updated to the Server; this is possible through GPRS communication. Thus server dispatch's all information's completely to end user webpage. This system could be extensively used in commercial vehicles and in constant equipments. In this paper fuel sensor and TeCU is interfaced, and then fuel status of vehicle is monitored predominantly on the webpage. Then the implementations will be done to administrate the system. This core endeavor of the paper is to identify and manage the fuel pilfering.
