A portable fuel metering system (PMU) is described. The PMU has one or more flow meters capable of metering the flow of fluids, such as fuel, as the fluid is transferred from a source to a receiver. The PMU may include a telemetry unit configured to transmit parameters related to the fuel transfer to remote location. The PMU may be configured in a light, portable package that may be carried by one or two people. The PMU may include a power generator that is configured to use the flow of fluid to the PMU to generate power for the PMU's operation.

The present application discloses a method, device and system for automatic oiling of a long-distance transport vehicle. The method provided by the present application includes: obtaining, by a transport planning system at a network side, vehicle status information, transport mission information and highway port information of the vehicle before the long-distance transport vehicle starts from a highway port of departure; generating a transport plan according to the vehicle status information, the transport mission information and the highway port information, wherein the transport plan comprises at least one highway port to be stopped at, cargo quantity to be loaded at each highway port to be stopped at and oil mass to be filled at each highway port to be stopped at; and sending the transport plan to the vehicle.

A fuel management method for long term stationary truck use is provided. This method includes a truck with at least a first saddle tank or a second saddle tank integral to the truck. Each saddle tank has a fuel level sensor to measure the fuel level. A fuel trailer provides supplemental fuel, and a fuel pump downstream of the fuel trailer and upstream of the truck pressurizes the fuel from the fuel trailer. The method includes supplying fuel to local users from saddle tanks, activating the fuel pump when the fuel level of both the saddle tanks is less than a first predetermined threshold, thereby transferring fuel from the fuel trailer to the first saddle tank and the second saddle tank, deactivating the fuel pump when the fuel level of either the saddle tanks is greater than a second predetermined threshold.

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.

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 discloses an automated system and method for a vehicle fueling service. The system comprises a plurality of first users with a smart device preloaded with a software application. The first users are associated with a carrier of a mobile fuel dispensing unit. An online server is configured for the interaction between the first user and a plurality of second users and an online non-transitory storage database for storing information corresponding to an asset or a vehicle. The smart device is communicatively coupled to a NFC tag stuck to each asset or vehicle for their identification and further accessing the information. The software application comprises an integrated automated billing module for creation of an invoice in real time and is configured to allow the first users to handle a plurality of request for using the vehicle fueling service at a time.

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.

The disclosure provides a filling adapter for filling vehicles with various operating materials which are fed from filling systems via connecting lines and filling adapters into circuits and containers of the vehicles. The disclosure provides a mechanical clamping element for such a filling adapter that has a lower mechanical load on the filling port than the known clamping claws or balls. The clamping element has a partially circular contour with a cross-section which, starting from a lower and flat base surface, merges upwards into two side surfaces which are arranged at right angles to the base surface and run parallel to one another, wherein the two side surfaces each merge at their end section arranged opposite the base surface into an actuating surface that runs obliquely upwards and inwards.

The system (10) for the transfer of fluid comprises a tubular fluid transfer line (2) comprising at one of its ends a coupling system (32) adapted to be connected to a target duct (33) for the transfer of fluid, and electrical actuators (11-13) for controlling the movement of the transfer line in space, each via an actuating shaft, characterized in that each of the actuators for controlling the movement of the transfer line comprises an electric motor with an output shaft, a speed reducer, the actuating shaft being rotationally driven by the motor output shaft by means of the speed reducer, which is reversible, so as to enable the actuating shaft to turn when an actuating torque is directly applied to it, and braking means for locking the actuator in position when movement control is in course and that actuator is not activated for that control.
