Detection of Fuel Theft in Heavy Vehicle

In the aspect to facilitate and enhance the vehicle’s features such as speed, mileage and volumetric level of fuel by providing it with the detection of level and restrict illicit activities using sensor. It is implemented using Vehicle Area Network (VAN) and embedded design. It suggests a computerized technique in heavy vehicles. Due to the high costs, theft more and more every day and the results in a large loss. In the proposed system, owner of the vehicle immediately receive a message when the fuel tank is opened by the operator or by a fuel traded and also the height of the fuel tank when opening and closing of the tank. The poised system uses Wireless based communication for monitoring the vehicle's position. Initially, the process involves measuring fuel level followed by eliciting the information and sends it to the server for further detection. Finally, the message is sent along with vehicle position and fuel level in the tank. This enables in identifying the level of fuel at different times whenever the tank is opened. This improvement in sensors will be a great boon to eradicate fuel theft and vehicle positioning issues. KEYWORDSfuel theft; Vehicle Area Network (VAN); Wireless communication; fuel trafficker.
