Introduction
In general case the FMS controller is installed inside the vehicle amd keeps track over the vehicle's sensors and registrates any changes of fuel level into the vehicle's fuel tank. Registered data together with GPS location of the vehicle is sent to server, where it is stored. Together with it, optionally the POS system dispensing fuel into the vehicle's tank identifies the vehicle and saves the amount of fuel dispensed into the vehicle to the central server. Thus, the central server has information regarding the fuel level changes in the vehicle tank, average fuel consumption on each of the vechile routes and also amount of fuel dispensed into the vehicle's tank. Having this information the system generates reports indicating when and what places on the map the unauthorized getting of fuel out of vehicle's tank were performed. Also, it indicates the routes where the fuel consumption of the vehicle was much more then average fuel consumption (which is most likely a fuel theft). Also, the system allows to detect the fuel thefts when some of the fuel was delivered not in the vehicle tank during dispensing of fuel into vehicle on petrol station based on information received from POS system servicing the dispensing and also the level of fuel changing inside the vehicle tank during the dispensing.
