| dc.description.abstract | The use of dip rods has over the years been in most fuel stations within most developing countries in the measurement of fuel levels in undergrounds tanks. It has been challenged by high inaccuracies resulting from the lack of experienced or honest personnel tasked with the duty of conducting these measurements. Additionally, inability to forecast fuel shortage in these tanks in real-time is a challenge. This research therefore proposes an automated fuel level measurement system in underground tanks in petrol stations. The proposed solution aims to solve the problem of inaccuracy and time wastage faced by managers at petrol stations and also attendants. This shall be achieved through the use of a light sensor which in the long run shall aid in the accountancy for every amount of fuel that is used in the petrol station. Additionally, data collected shall be used in analysing the fuel usage trend and send forecast reports to the concern parties. The system development methodology that will be used to design the project is system prototyping due to the reason that upon the completion of the research the proposed solution will not be deployable though a working proof of concept. The research methodology shall be qualitative and design methodology (OOAD). | en_US |
