UNMANNED PETROL PUMP

Today almost all petrol pumps have a controlling unit to perform the tasks like
managing the electrical pump, drive the display, measure the flow & accordingly turn
OFF the electrical pump. But still a person is required to collect the money.

This project aims at designing a system to eliminate this human interaction so that
there is no need of workers to fill the petrol. In this system all drivers have a smart card
called as PETRO CARD. This Petro Card can be recharged at RECHARGE
POINTS. At the Petrol Pump the driver swaps the card, the petrol pump is equipped with
a RFID reader/write. The RFID reader reads the amount in the card & is displayed on the
LCD. The driver then enters the quantity of petrol that has to be filled. The corresponding
amount is calculated & deducted from the PETRO CARD. The electrical pump is then
turned ON according to the entered amount.

This project benefits the consumers in the following ways:

1. The user need not carry any money with him. The petro card does everything.
2. Refuelling will be comfortable and carries on in a smoother way.

Block Diagram:

The Programmable logic controller plays the key role performing all the tasks in a
very systematic way. It reads the data from the smart card reader, processes the
data, starts the pumping system to fill the tank upon the user request given
through the keypad, displays the amount on the LCD, deducts the amount from
the card based on the petrol fill and automatically turns off the pump.
Keypad is used as an input device allowing the user to enter the quantity of petrol
to be filled in his vehicle tank.
LCD is used to display the number of units consumed by the user and display the
related messages. LCD consumes low power and is a user friendly output device.
The controller is interfaced with the smart card through MAX232. Serial
communication will be established between the controller and the smart card
module.
Max232 IC is a specialized circuit which makes standard voltages as required by
RS232 standards. This IC provides best noise rejection and very reliable against

discharges and short circuits. MAX232 IC chips are commonly referred to as line
drivers.
Buzzer is used for the audio indication at the time of turning on and turning off
the pump.

SMART HOUSE AND SMART-ENERGY APPLICATIONS OF LOW-POWER

RFID-BASED WIRELESS SENSORS
ABSTRACT:
This talk will present a number of different approaches to deploying low power autonomous
wireless sensors in a variety of applications. The approaches presented involve chip less
RFID based temperature sensors, energy harvesting techniques in semi-passive RFID sensor,
and carbon nanotube (CNT) based wireless gas and pressure sensors. These sensors operate
at a wide range of frequencies, and exhibit different characteristics which are suited to their
application areas.
