dc.description.abstract | This project’s goal is to design and construct a fuel antitheft system that monitors fuel level in the
tank and uses GSM technology to remotely send a control message to a fleet manager, supervisor
or the owner of the equipment in which it is installed. The fuel antitheft system comprises an
ultrasonic sensor, a microcontroller and GSM module, which work together in monitoring and
controlling fuel level in a tank. The main goal of the project was attained through meeting the
specific objectives of; determining system design specifications, collect data on fuel consumption
for the system, designing and constructing the system circuit, writing the program code for the
operating system of the circuit, and constructing and evaluating a prototype for the system. The
project started with the study and research, with the information gathered from literature study,
filtering customer needs and thus generating design concepts respectively. Most suitable and final
design concepts was selected using a concept scoring matrix and the system prototype of the final
detailed design was constructed to assess technical feasibility | en_US |
