Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a prevalent solution for many recent applications in order to connect network components and to limit the cost required by the cable-based systems. One of these applications is monitoring then controlling the physical processes. We all know that fuel is a vital resource for life that make consumption and management is a key issue nowadays. Information technology systems (ITS) for fuel control are currently facing interoperability problems in pump stations due to the carelessness or neglecting of some drivers which cause fuel spill squinted on the ground. This paper proposes a new idea with new processes for fuel-saving, by installing a WSN operated with the Internet of Things (IoT) scheme. The WSN, mounted in the tank of the vehicle, will sense the level of fuel and filling percentage and help the pumping machine to fill the tank with the capacity required not to exceed the maximum capacity of the tank. Based on this standard, this paper proposes a Smart Filling Pump Station (SFPS) model combining IoT technologies with processes decision support systems.
