Abstract
In the transportation sector, effective fuel management is essential due to increasing environmental and economic concerns. However, traditional fuel level indicators often lack the necessary precision for optimizing fuel consumption. This paper introduces a novel IoT-based fuel monitoring and tracking system designed to overcome these challenges. By combining an accelerometer for real-time fuel level detection with GPS for location tracking and mileage calculation, the system provides comprehensive monitoring capabilities. Additionally, cloud-based data processing and a user-friendly mobile application enable real-time data visualization and analysis. This integrated approach empowers fleet managers and vehicle owners to make informed, data-driven decisions that enhance fuel efficiency, lower operational costs, and reduce environmental impact.
