Abstract: Everything has been digitized. In many existing systems, 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
and there is card to access petrol at different petrol stations of different petrol companies across the
country and here, we are connecting all these petrol stations using single web server This web server
access is secured by a password which is known only to the petrol companies. Whenever we want to
fill the tank from the fuel dispenser, we just have to place the RFID card near the RFID reader

Keywords: RFID module; ArduinoUNO; Relay; Buzzer; LCD; RFID tag.

I. INTRODUCTION
Petroleum is the foremost and mainstay of modern civilization. It is one of the nature's rare and valuable creation. Its
formation takes millions of years which insist proper utilization of the resource. In present scenario, fuel stations are
operated manually which consist a controlling unit to perform various tasks. The present manual fuel stations consume
more time and requires substantial man power. Moreover, it is prone to malpractices and higher probability of human
initiated errors. These limitations restrict installation of fuel stations in distant areas. The main aim of this paper is to
deal with all stated problems by developing an automated petrol dispensing system using RFID technology. Such a
system enables a user to use a RFID based prepaid card to access petrol at fuel stations. Whenever the user wants to fill
the tank from the fuel dispenser, user has to enter the amount first And then place the RFID card near the RFID reader.
The Arduino Uno manages to read the data from the RFID reader and perform action according to the customer
requirements as well as the amount deducted from the users card’s.

II. LITERATURE SURVEY

2.1 Manual Control
In this, the control and automation are done by Manual Operation.
 Drawback: Human Errors subsequently affects the quality of end product. Hard Wired Logic Control. In this,
Contractors and Relays together with timer and counters were used in achieving desired level of Automation.
Bulky and complex wiring, involves lot of network to implement changes in control logic, Work can be started
only when it is fully defined which leads to longer project time.

2.2 Electronics Control With Logic Gates

In this, Contractors and Relays together with tillers and counters were replaced with logic gates and electronics timer
in control circuit.
 Advantage: Reduced spare requirement, energy saving, less maintenance and hence greater reliability.
 Drawback: Implementation of changes in the control logic as well as reducing project lead-time was not
possible.

2.3 Programmable Logic Control

In this, instead of achieving desired control and automation through physical wiring of control devices, it achieving
through program say software.
 Advantage: Energy Saving, Reduced Space,

III. PROBLEM STATEMENT

Everything has been digitized. In many existing systems, 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 and there is a possibility of many human errors. In this
proposed petrol pump automation system, we are using RFID card to access petrol at different petrol stations of
different petrol companies across the country and here

IV. IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS

4.1 Hardware Requirement

A. RFID Module

Figure 1: RFID Module

The RC 522 RFID Reader has a radio transponder that acts as an antenna and ranges 125 HKZ to 2.4 GHZ that uses
electromagnetic fields to identify the signals corresponding to the RFID tag.

B. RFID Cards
It is scanned by certain frequency specific to individual RFID tag which in turns contains data that can be transmitted
with the same frequency of RFID reader.

D. Relay
The relay module uses 5relays in total. The four relays are used to switch on the numeric logic digits. The user get
possibility of entering 4- digit amount The left out fifth relay is commanded by Arduino uno.
uno The time and quantity for
the dispensing of fuel is calculated by the Arduino uno which in turn gives command to the relay. This relay switches
the logic for the DC motor to turn either ON or OFF.

The complete prototype as developed was tested and verified results. It successfully fills the required quantity of
fuel from smart card and operation of the project is clearly verified. RFID system is a versatile technology. This system
is used in many application and real time application. In our application, RFID system dispenses the accurate amount of
fuel which reduces the misuse of the fuel. And it also reduces the man power. And if the customer tries to swipe with
the unauthorized card, the RFID system rejects the card. In this way the system is so secured. To obtain best
performance the RFID readers and Tags must be in good quality is so secured.

VI. ADVANTAGES
 Man power is reduced because of an automated self- service.
 Easy access and save time at the Fuel stations.
 Misconceptions and arguments have no place at all.
 Due to use of RFID system, robbery of the fuel is avoided.
 Accuracy as well as reliability is maintained in the quantity of dispensed fuel.
 The customers use prepaid cards for payments at these Fuel stations which results in the systematic record
generation of their transaction

VII. CONCLUSION
The above mentioned model proposes to remove all the shortcomings of the manually operated petrol pumps by
replacing them with automated ones. RFID is a versatile technology, easy to use and it can be efficiently used in this
real time application. The proposed model consists of certain goals like ensuring right amount of fuel dispensed,
removing all human errors by the use of RFID cards and ensuring customer's trust for a fair sale of the product. These

automated fuel stations provide a lot more advantages as they reduce man power with the automated self-service. With
this simple technology in use, any person can easily access for fuel at Fuel Stations. Apart from this all, these systems
are less time consuming compared to the traditional ones. The technology proposed is very cost efficient and has low
power consumption as well, which sets the major benchmark in today's scenario.

VIII. FUTURE SCOPE

It has been observed that the proposed system is extremely beneficial as it provides the secure and cashless digital
system, which avoids fuel thefts in recent digital India concept. The proposed model of RFID Based Fuel station
automation using Arduino Uno can be further enhanced by making it password protected. It can have featured on
biometric security in which only the person to whom the RFID card belongs, can only allowed to use it for access at
fuel stations. In this, each user will be having the unique pin or biometric for their respective RFID card. If the user
enters the correct credentials, he will be asked to enter the amount and further process will take place. On the other
hand, if the entered credential is wrong, he will be given two more chances for the same, failing which access will be
denied and security alarm will be raised alerting for the same. This will help to authenticate as well as secure the user.
The unauthorized user is disallowed for any access to the system.
