Review on Advanced CNG Booking System Using FASTag Technology

To address this growing demand for clean fuel, the rapidly expanding CNG stations face issues relating to long queues in refueling, traffic congestion, and hassles in payment procedures. This paper focuses on the design and development of an Advance CNG Booking System integrated with Fastag Technology to transform the experience during CNG refueling. The mobile application allows the system to pre-book slots for refuelling at CNG stations, check real-time availability of CNG, and monitor the present congestion levels at stations. Furthermore, the app offers operation hours at stations and fuel inventory status to help the users in better decision-making. Integration of Fastag allowed automated payment processes so that such a transaction can be seamlessly provided contactless. Navigation assistance is also present in the system. This is an IoT-enabled solution, which aims to make the refueling process smooth, minimize wait times, enhance convenience for users and thereby improve CNG station traffic management.
