GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM AND GLOBAL SYSTEM FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION MODEM APPLICATION AS CAR POSITION AND FUEL MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

The distribution of fuel oil carried by the tanker to the Fuel Stations is hard to be monitored. There are cases where the driver, who steals the fuel from the tank, harder to be tracked down. To overcome this problem, researchers used Global Positioning System  and Global System for Mobile Modem Communication  as an application. The research integrates multiple electronic Global Positioning System device, ultrasonic sensor, Arduino  and mobile  modem in the system. The device is placed in the carriage fuel tank of the tanker. This system aims to determine the car's position and content of the fuel tank. It will retrieve current car position and carriage content and send it over Short Message and voice call over Mobile modem. A program, built with Delphi will retrieve the message and point out the car position and tank level accurately on Google Maps. The results obtained indicated that the error is approximately ± 0.05 and deviation is 0 latitude and 0.00362 longitude. For further development, we plan to improve two parameters by increasing warnings with the increase in the capacity of the sensors. From the overall discussion in this study, it can be concluded that the equipment content monitoring system can be well applied.
