Abstract: Often, people tend to forget to refill fuel in 2-wheelers, and they need to push the vehicle to the nearest petrol pump or call somebody with a full fuel tank to transfer the fuel. The scenario would be even worse if the fuel tank was empty while overtaking; it could cause an accident. The module introduced can be a compact-size module that can be installed in any IC engine two-wheeler vehicle system and can be used for generating SMS-based reminders for fuel refilling. In EV models, the smart clusters are connected to the user’s phone, but old vehicles do not have this facility. The module is designed in such a way that it will offer the user the flexibility to set the SMS trigger based on the various threshold levels of fuel. The user can decide the trigger levels based on the distance to a nearby petrol pump from his home, office, etc. The paper explains the hardware architecture, details of the workings of the module, how it can be installed, and how it could be beneficial for 2-wheeler users.
