Claims:The scope of the invention is defined by the following claims:
Claim:
1. We claim that the fuel indication digitally helps to measure the amount of fuel with 98% accuracy and also detect frauds in fuel bunks. There is no chance of cheating the customers as the amount of fuel is displayed in digits.
2. We claim that the invention helps to determine the distance needed to travel with the fuel left which gives the rider/driver an idea of how much the vehicle can travel to reach the nearest fuel bunk.
3. The invention we claim involves the use of alarm system that provides security for the vehicle from fuel theft. Whenever the fuel refill does not take place properly the alarm is raised indicating fuel fraud.
4. We claim the novel use of GPS module that gives the exact vehicle position. This helps in tracking the vehicle and to find its position in terms of latitude and longitude. This information is vital as this is sent to the authorized person upon theft or accident of the vehicle.
5. We claim the use RF transmit & receive module in our invention which is intended to provide safety by monitoring the ignition of the vehicle which only happens when the rider has worn his helmet or a driver has fastened his seat belt properly. If the proper positioning of the helmet or seat belt is not observed then the RF transmitter does not send signals to the receiver and hence the ignition of the vehicle does not take place
, Description:The detailed block diagram of the invention is presented in Figure 6.
When a person wears a helmet or fastens his seat belt properly the switch gets closed and the RF transmitter is triggered with the power supply. If a person doesn't wear his helmet or seat belt properly then the switch is open and the RF will not trigger and the engine will not start. This provides safety for the rider/driver of the vehicle.
RF receiver will receive the transmitted RF signal and HC12D, HC12E ICs are used to encode and decode the transmitted signal. The moment the RF receiver receives the signal it triggers the Arduino microcontroller (which is driven by the power supply) and this will trigger the rest of the components connected to it.
The fuel sensor measures the amount of fuel left in the vehicle tank in terms of digits and the mileage of the vehicle is calculated for different speeds. The amount of fuel and mileage is displayed on the LCD screen.
IR sensor is used to detect unauthorized events such as a person trying to dismantle the vehicle parts. If any accidents occur the buzzer is connected to this sensor and rings whenever it detects an accident and it gives this information to Arduino which in turn informs the owner of the vehicle through GSM.
The motor is driven by the 12V battery and it is used to calculate mileage with different speeds using the relay. GPS is used to track the vehicle’s location and it also helps to find the nearest bunk location. This information is displayed on the LCD screen.
GSM is used to send fuel-filled information and theft information to the owner. When an accident occurs, it sends the message to the nearest police station and ten of the relatives
