Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to detection of theft in moving vehicles and specifically to monitoring the tilt and angle values of a lid in real time and detecting the opening of a lid of a tanker to by affixing a detachable apparatus to the lid of the tanker.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Liquids such as Chemicals/Crude oil stealing always results in huge economic loss, environmental pollution and human causalities in the world. For example, oil burglars began to rob crude oil by pumping from oil tanks by arbitrarily removing the fuel lid and stealing the interior oil. Hand-operated or automatic syphons decant fuel into portable containers that can quickly and easily be loaded into a criminal vehicle or carried off-site by hand. More sophisticated illegal operations have seen fuel being pumped directly into tanks mounted onto vehicles – allowing for larger quantities of fuel to be uplifted quickly Our system can immediately identify the event of a theft happening by detecting if someone is trying to remove the liquid tanker lid. It can detect the event as well as transmit the information along with the vehicle information wirelessly using BLE and GSM. The devices involved can be easily integrated into the system as they are wireless. It may also alert the concerned authority for immediate actions by a well-equipped team for recovery.
[0004] Hence, there is a need for a simple, cost effective means that obviates the above mentioned problems in the prior art and provides an improved solution that enables real-time monitoring of the lid of the tanker.
