Abstract

At many gas stations today, there's a computer inside the pump that controls everything - from pumping fuel to showing the price. But, there's still a person who needs to collect money. Our idea is to get rid of this part by making the pump work all by itself. Every driver would have a special card, like a credit card, but for gas. You can put points on this card to pay for fuel. When you go to the pump, you swipe your card. The pump reads how much money is on your card and shows it on a screen. Then, you type in how much fuel you want, and the pump starts pumping. Once you've got what you need, it stops automatically. It can even send you a text message to let you know the transaction is complete. This system makes getting gas faster and means fewer people are needed to run the gas station.
