Design Paper on Petrol Pump Theft Security System

Abstract

Automobiles have become an integral part of modern life. The increase in the number of vehicles has led to the rise in the consumption of petroleum fuel and the cheating happening in this business. There are numerous ways in which the consumer can be cheated, and this kind of fraud can harm the consumer as well as the company's reputation. So, there is a need for a system that can reduce such type of malpractices and give the right to the customers to check if they are being cheated or not. The system in which not the operator at dispenser nor the manager of respective petrol pump but the customer has the power to check whether he or she has been wronged or not. The CCTV camera surveillance provides a way to monitor any place 24x7 but it requires manpower to scan the footages captured by the camera, and there is a possibility that such malpractices can remain uncaught in this type of monitoring. So, there is a need for a smarter system at such places which aims at identifying all such malpractices and which do not depend on manpower for their identification. This design paper gives the design of a security system at a petrol pump which can overcome almost all malpractices that can happen in its surroundings. The system identifies the malpractice and notifies the consumer and the manager by itself without depending on manpower at the petrol pump.
