In this fast moving world, people are traveling with tight schedule of estimated time. The fuel is another important factor for traveling. Vehicles need to reach a filling station to fill the fuel. When a vehicle reaches to a filling station, the filling station may have very long queues or lack of fuel amount to fulfill the customer’s needs. At present the filling stations display information of the next filling station and distance.
This project provides the facility to interconnect all petroleum filling stations all over the country through internet to exchange their information. In one petroleum filling station, the system can display information of all filling stations that located in a user’s travel way. So customers can choose the best petroleum filling stations that fulfill the customer’s needs.
The fuel level reading unit reads the available fuel level and send to the information server through connected computer. The web based system displays available fuel types, amounts, distance from current filling station and other details.
The electronic device – “fuel level reading unit” built using ultra sonic sensors and web interface built using PHP scripting technology and MYSQL. To ensure maximum availability of the system MYSQL clustering used for databases.
