The design of a data transmission system based on 3G and embedded

technology
ABSTRACT
The stamp of the automobile on the city was not restricted to the vehicles, streets and roads,
parking spaces, and traffic signs and lights. Like horses that needed hay and stables, like trains that
needed water, coal, and terminals, automobiles needed gas and oil, replacement parts, tires and
batteries, and garages. Most important of all they needed filling stations and service stations. In the
early days of the automobile, travel required careful planning. Initially, gasoline had to be obtained at
bulk depots located outside of the cities. Fuel was provided in cans or other containers, but ultimately
wholesalers transported gasoline in horsedrawn tank trucks to commercial customers in towns for sale
to motorists.
As automobile sales increased, the demand for fuel led to a more systematic way of delivering it.
And also with the increase of gas filling stations the accidents due to gas leakage also got increased. So
always need arises to build a security system for monitoring the environmental conditions such as gas
leakage and temperature over there at the place. This kind of system can proves to be very important as
it provides safety and security.
There are many such systems available today which can be used for the security purpose at the
places like gas filling stations etc. But the wireless network will be limited and the nodes will be fixed in
that system. It means that only some few nodes can be added in the network. So here in this project a
web based monitoring system has been designed and implemented in which there is a flexibility to
increase any number of nodes in the system.
This kind of system can prove to be very useful at the gas filling stations because it is low in cost.
Also as it is web based, the monitoring of the various environmental conditions can be done from any
remote place. Because its not like any other technologies such as Zigbee or Bluetooth which provides
some limited range of transmission.

INTRODUCTION
Since 1980, the number of vehicle fires at service stations has more than doubled, partly
because of the increase in the number of vehicles on the road, while structure fires and other fires
decreased by 10 percent. Starting in the late 1990s, some of the organizations have received isolated
reports of flash fires, apparently caused by static electricity, while patrons were pumping gasoline or gas
leakage at the gas filling stations.
So there occurred a need to design a system to provide security to gas filling stations or other
such places. Gas filling stations and other such places where safety and security is must otherwise it can
cause a great damage to human life. Many researchers are working for the system which can provide
safety and security at such places and can avoid the accidents caused due to fire by gas leakage.
There are systems available which can provide safety and security against the disasters that can
happen at the gas filling stations. But that system uses the wireless technologies like Zigbee which has
limited transmission range and number of the nodes will also be limited. Thus here in this project, web
based technology is used. So there is a flexibility of adding many numbers of nodes in the system. This is
a great advantage upon the existing systems used for the specified purpose.
Over here, in this project, some sensors are used to monitor the temperature and gas at the gas
filling stations. So if any gas leakage then it can be monitored easily. Also if the temperature gets
increased then it will be monitored. Thus in turn hazardous situation can be avoided. Thus, this type of
system is better compared to other systems already available.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The microcontroller based system is designed over here that is used to monitor the various
environmental conditions at the places like gas filling stations. The various sensors are installed to detect
various environmental conditions such as temperature and gas respectively.
The temperature sensor and gas sensor are installed at the fire catching places in gas stations.
These sensors continuously detect the temperature and gas leakage of the surroundings and fed those
values to the microcontroller. Gas sensor is digital sensor so it has been interfaced directly with the
microcontroller. But the temperature sensor is analog in nature so it cannot be interfaced directly with
the microcontroller. The serial ADC is used over here to convert the analog readings of the temperature
into digital format. So temperature sensor values are first fed to the ADC (Analog to Digital Converter).
The converted digital values are then given to the microcontroller. The microcontroller will process
these values and send these values to the administrator via internet. So the administrator will be able to
monitor the environmental conditions at the gas filling stations from the far remote place. In this way,
the administrator will be able to detect if the temperature goes high or the gas leakage occurs. So the
hazardous or critical situations can be avoided and preventive measures can be taken. If any gas leakage
occurs or the temperature goes high from predefined limit then alarm will also be raised for alertness.
This type of system is useful as it provides safety and security against the critical situations. The
system is easy to install and also it is easy to operate. As it is web based it has an advantage of
transmitting the data to far remote place. Besides this, the cost of this system is very low and also the
number of nodes in the system is not fixed. The number of nodes can be increased whenever necessary.
So this system has many advantages than the existing system.
