A method for receiving a plurality of captures of a vehicle from a plurality of locations. Calculating a plurality of signatures of the vehicle, each respectfully associated with a corresponding capture from the plurality of captures. Associating the plurality of signatures resulting in a single signature and utilizing the single signature for identifying the vehicle.

The present invention relates to a novel full-service autonomous gas station comprising of a plurality of drive-through service bay lanes. The gas station includes an autonomous fueling section and a pick-up area in each service bay lane for autonomous fueling of the vehicle and delivery of ordered store items. The gas station determines the position of a vehicle relative to a fuel refilling robotic arm before automatically filling fuel in fuel tank of the vehicle. A voice-activated digital menu display board displays store items that can be ordered via a smartphone application or a voice-input system by a user of the car while remaining within the car. The fuel is also refilled without requiring the user to exit the vehicle. A second robotic arm provides ordered item(s) to the user and thus obviates the need of the user to exit the vehicle throughout the station.

A robotic servicing system. The robotic servicing system includes an evacuation system, a refill system and a robotic assembly. The evacuation system includes a first quick connect fitting configured to mate with a quick connect valve of a vehicle. The refill system includes a second quick connect fitting configure to mate with the quick connect valve of the vehicle. The robotic assembly is couplable to the evacuation system and the refill system, and is configured to autonomously connect the first and second quick connection fittings to the quick connect valve of the vehicle.

Fuel management systems for a fuel dispensing facility including a fuel delivery system are disclosed. The fuel delivery system includes at least one storage tank configured to contain a fuel, at least one dispenser configured to receive the fuel from the at least one storage tank, and a fuel handling system which is configured to one of (1) deliver the fuel to the at least one storage tank, (2) receive the fuel from the at least one storage tank, (3) monitor for a leak within the fuel delivery system, and (4) monitor for a fuel inventory within the fuel delivery system. The fuel management system may include installation records of the fuel handling components. The fuel management system may monitor cameras positioned in sumps of the fuel delivery system. The fuel delivery system may include a camera positioned to monitor an interior of a sump, the interior of the sump being provided by a sump basin and a sump cover. The sump cover may be a sump lid. The sump cover may be a dispenser. The sump cover may be another portion of the fuel delivery system.

Devices such as vehicles, remote sensors, and so forth consume energy during operation. Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for transferring energy from an uncrewed autonomous vehicle to a vehicle such as a car. The uncrewed autonomous vehicle may locate the vehicle at a rendezvous location, and connect with the vehicle while the vehicle moves. Once the uncrewed autonomous vehicle connects to the vehicle, the uncrewed autonomous vehicle may transfer the energy to the vehicle.

The subject matter discloses a method, the method comprises receiving an event of capturing a capture of a vehicle; generating a signature of the vehicle from the capture; comparing the signature to a second signature; wherein the second signature is associated with an identified vehicle, the comparing resulting in a level of confidence; and if the level of confidence exceeds a threshold then identifying the vehicle as the identified vehicle.

A method for supplying a mobile usage unit with a consumable delivered by a movable delivery connection of a maintenance station to a supply inlet of the mobile usage unit includes identifying via a sensor system a supply inlet of the mobile usage unit, the sensor system providing data to a control unit, fluidly connecting via the control unit the delivery connection to the identified supply inlet, delivering via the control unit the consumable to the supply inlet, and after the delivery of the consumable has terminated, fluidly separating via the control unit the delivery connection from the supply inlet.

A robotic servicing system. The robotic servicing system includes an evacuation system, a refill system and a robotic assembly. The evacuation system includes a first quick connect fitting configured to mate with a quick connect valve of a vehicle. The refill system includes a second quick connect fitting configure to mate with the quick connect valve of the vehicle. The robotic assembly is couplable to the evacuation system and the refill system, and is configured to autonomously connect the first and second quick connection fittings to the quick connect valve of the vehicle.

The subject matter discloses method, the method comprises: receiving a request for fueling of a vehicle in a site; receiving a capture of the vehicle; if location of the vehicle detected from the capture is within a certain powering area of the site then: retrieving from a data repository an identification of a pump associated with the powering area; and instructing a computing device controlling the pump to start the fueling.

An automated fueling assembly includes a refueling station that is positioned at a gas station for refueling gas burning vehicles. The refueling station includes a control panel that is movably integrated into the refueling station to facilitate a driver of a vehicle to access the control panel. The refueling station includes a robotic arm that is actuatable to extend into a refueling port in the vehicle for refueling the vehicle without requiring the driver to exit the vehicle. A pair of sensing units is each positioned on a driveway adjacent to the refueling station. Furthermore, the refueling station is turned on when each the sensing units senses the weight of the vehicle.
