A fuel sensor device is a solution for monitoring fuel (gasoline, diesel) for transportation vehicles, integrated into the Viettel – Vtracking Transportation Vehicle Monitoring system. This device uses capacitive sensor technology to accurately determine the fuel level in the vehicle’s tank. Simultaneously, the Vtracking Viettel system utilizes global positioning system (GPS) technology combined with a Viettel SIM card (data transmission via GPRS, interaction via SMS) and specialized software to track the status and monitor the fuel history of the vehicle on a digital map platform.

Why Install a Fuel Sensor for Diesel Trucks?

Controlling and managing fuel (gasoline, diesel) thoroughly and effectively has always been a difficult problem for transportation businesses. Fuel fraud occurs frequently, becoming increasingly sophisticated and difficult to control. Manual measures such as building tanks, applying seals, using measuring sticks, lead seals… are not truly effective.

With an accuracy of up to 98%, the fuel sensor device is an ideal solution to help businesses manage fuel (24/7 monitoring, statistics, control and adjustment of consumption norms), save costs and bring high efficiency.

Using the Fuel Monitoring service integrated with the Vtracking Viettel system, businesses and individuals can significantly reduce costs related to vehicle management, resource management, and personnel management. Without needing to be physically present for inspection, users can monitor the fuel consumption status through the fuel level reporting system on their phone or computer, thereby managing fuel reasonably and efficiently.

LIGO Fuel Sensor Device for Diesel Trucks

There are many types of fuel sensors on the market today, but they can be mainly divided into 3 types:

  • Fuel sensor devices using reed switches
  • Fuel sensor devices using ultrasonic sensor technology
  • Fuel sensor devices using capacitive sensor technology

Each applied technology will result in different levels of accuracy and durability. Among these, capacitive sensor technology is considered to achieve the best accuracy and device lifespan.

LIGO fuel sensor device applies capacitive sensor chip technology for results with accuracy up to 99.5%. The device is designed to monitor fuel levels (gasoline, diesel) in tanks, reservoirs, or fuel pits used in various fields and applications. The measured values will be transmitted to external devices through output signal types such as: Analog, Frequency, RS232, RS485… for connection to external devices. In specific conditions, the measuring device can achieve high accuracy up to 99.5%.

Applications of Fuel Sensor Devices on Trucks

  • Solving the need to manage and monitor vehicle movement: The system allows managers to sit in the office, with an internet-connected computer and an account provided by Viettel, to manage all information related to the status and fuel consumption of vehicles.
  • Helping businesses overcome difficulties in controlling the quality and usage of vehicles: The system allows management and alerts for vehicle conditions such as maintenance needs, fuel consumption levels by day, month, etc.
  • Helping businesses minimize the risk of fuel theft: Especially useful for businesses and households that rent out self-drive cars.
  • Fuel sensors can be installed on: Trucks, Containers, bulldozers, excavators, trains… Power generators; Oil tanks, industrial fuel tanks; Factories, industrial parks; Fuel tanks used in agriculture, transportation, and maritime.

Features of the Fuel Sensor Device When Integrated into the Vtracking-Viettel Transportation Vehicle Monitoring System

When integrating the Dut-E fuel sensor device into the Vtracking Viettel system and using the reporting software on Vtracking.viettel.vn, the device will have the following main features:

1. Fuel History Report

Fuel sensor device will record the fuel consumption history of the vehicle at each time and location. Through the device, users will see the fuel consumption level when the vehicle is operating and easily detect fuel fluctuations of the vehicle over the selected time period.

2. Fuel Refueling/Drainage Report

This feature of the oil sensor device will record the refueling/drainage times of the vehicle according to each time, refueling/drainage volume, and refueling/drainage location.

3. Fuel Distance Report by Level

The fuel sensor device will record how many km each working session of the vehicle has traveled and statistically summarize the actual fuel consumption on that distance of the vehicle.

Note: The data below is from a concrete mixing truck, so the fuel consumption per km will not be the same for each working session because the time the vehicle is stationary consumes more fuel than the vehicle moving on the road.

4. Overall Model of the System

  • Vehicle: equipped with a fuel monitoring device integrated with Vtracking Viettel device, with a SIM card attached, capable of positioning and sending messages to the server.
  • Viettel server system: receives, stores, and processes data from the device returned. Management and monitoring modules are processed here to provide an interface for end-users to access. The digital map system is also managed and stored entirely in this system.
  • Customer: Interacts with the system via browser, smartphone application to monitor and manage their vehicles.
