Abstract

In order to reduce the wastage and loss of petroleum products in transit, a monitoring and management system is proposed for tank truck transportation. In this system, a vehicle transport recorder is developed to record the operations of inputs and outputs of a tank truck via a kind of Hall Effect switch sensors. Wireless data transceivers are designed to start and stop monitoring in the starting stations and destinations automatically. The information recorded by the vehicle transport recorder is collected by a smart card and then it is transferred to the host management software which is developed to manage the transportation data, alarm messages, devices, archives, etc. The integrated and intelligent system has been implemented and applied to practice, and it reduces the loss of petroleum products during the transportation efficiently.
