A control system is operable to control an autonomous machine for autonomously applying one or more products to a jobsite in accordance with a set of operation instructions. The products are stored in one or more interchangeable containers which are initially located on a station. The control system broadly includes an alignment sensor and a machine processor. The alignment sensor is configured to sense and generate alignment data regarding a relative position of the station and a particular container that contains a particular product. The machine processor is configured to align the autonomous machine with the station and the particular container based on the alignment data from the alignment sensor, and transfer the particular container from the station to the autonomous machine; move the autonomous machine over the jobsite and apply the particular product from the particular container in accordance with the set of operation instructions; and align the autonomous machine with the station based on the alignment data from the alignment sensor, and transfer the particular container from the autonomous machine to the station.

A device for controlling refueling of hydrogen includes one or more hydrogen refueling facilities for refueling a hydrogen-powered vehicle with hydrogen, and a controller that collects state information and control data of the hydrogen refueling facilities, performs artificial intelligence learning based on the state information and the control data, and controls operations of the hydrogen refueling facilities based on the learning result.

A gravity-fed fuel delivery system is provided. A central storage tank holds fuel to re-supply a number of pump trucks or other mechanized equipment, such as on a hydraulic fracturing location, and can be selectively raised or lowered. Hoses or other conduits extend from the central storage tank to individual fuel tanks of the equipment to be refueled. Adapters allow connection of the distal end of each hose or conduit to an inlet opening of a fuel tank. A float valve assembly senses when fuel inside an individual fuel tank is below a predetermined level, thereby mechanically opening a valve assembly to permit fluid to flow from the central storage tank, through a conduit, through the float valve assembly and into the fuel tank.

Vehicles can be equipped to operate in both autonomous and occupant piloted mode. Refueling stations can be equipped to refuel autonomous vehicles without occupant assistance. Refueling stations can be equipped with a fueling control computer that communicates with vehicles via wireless networks to move vehicles between waiting zones, service zones and served zones. Refueling stations can include liquid fuel, compressed gas and electric charging.

The present application provides a method, device and system for automatically fueling a vehicle. The method includes: determining fuel amount to be filled according to the information of vehicle status and the driving route of the vehicle; assigning a fueling device which conforms to a preset position rule to the vehicle according to the current position of the vehicle and the preset position rule; sending a feedback message carrying position information of the fueling device to the vehicle, so that the vehicle drives to the fueling device indicated by a position of the fueling device; and sending information of the fuel amount to be filled and the information of the identifier of the vehicle to the fueling device so that the fueling device offers fuel to the vehicle indicated by the identifier of the vehicle according to the information of the fuel amount to be filled.

A vehicle control device for a vehicle includes a communication unit configured to communicate with a communication device located at a gas station, and a processor configured to control the vehicle to perform at least one of autonomous driving or autonomous fueling based on information received from the communication device. In addition, a control method for controlling a vehicle includes communicating with a communication device located at a gas station, and controlling a vehicle to perform an operation based on information received from the communication device.

Disclosed are methods and systems for interrupting a fuel controller to allow the generation and display of customer interfaces at a fuel dispenser. Using this technology, a fueling station owner, for example, can generate custom displays on a fuel dispenser in order to provide customized information and selections to a customer that are provided by interrupting a fuel controller that controls the fuel dispenser. In some embodiments, the ability to interrupt a fuel controller enables a computer system to generate custom interface display at a fuel dispenser for the configuration of multiple products transactions. In other embodiments, a fuel controller interrupt is utilized to produce custom interface screens at a fuel dispenser that include loyalty or account information tied to the current user of the fuel dispenser. In other embodiments, a fuel controller interrupt is utilized to produce printed receipts at a fuel dispenser even when the related fueling transaction was not initiated at the fuel dispenser (e.g., was initiated inside the fueling station building.) In some embodiments, such printed receipts also include an indication of a balance remaining at the end of the transaction and provide a user with the ability to redeem the remaining balance at a later time using the indication on the printed receipt.
