Petrol Station Automatic Payment
An old motto is saying that time is money (Benjamin Franklin, 1748), in nowadays the life move fast
and everybody want to act as fast as it can. In petrol stations especially in peak times, the time that
needed to fill up a vehicle is too much. the procedure is simple but lengthy because firstly it is
needed to fill up and then to go inside to pay at the cashier. The Petrol Station Automatic Payment
System will use RFID technology to achieve the wireless connection between user (the owner of the
Car or Motorcycle) and the merchant (Petrol Stations).
Project summary
It was examined if it is possible to use a low
cost and simple technology as RFID to
achieve reliable and secure communication,
with scope to replace the tradition payment
in petrol stations
Project Objectives
• Study all the previous work that has been
done.
• Find, analyze and improve disadvantages
of previous system,
• Develop Hardware and Software for
complementation of this system
• Examine the practicality of the system
• Create a hardware parts of the system
• Write the software coding of the system;
How it works
When the user will stop to the petrol station and use the nozzle, the connection will be established and allow to the user to fill up his
car and leave without any delay. The system that will recognise the user and allow to him to fill up his vehicle and it will take the
payment from his account automatically
Project Conclusion
The research showed that it is feasible to be
done with RFID technology, after those
results it was considered the place that it is
possible to fit the system on vehicles and in
petrol stations to achieve reliable and safety
standards.
