Module for fuel consumption measurement

Abstract

Today is important for transport companies to monitorize fuel consumption. To perform this task is necessary to have on the car a black box inaccessible to driver. This can be done using a flow transducer coupled to a smart electronic module. The authors designed a volumetric rotational transducer that contains a Hall sensor. The pulses generated by this sensor as well as driving wheels rotation information are used by an electronic module to calculate total fuel consumption.
