MONITORING POWERED ASSETS FOR FUELING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for monitoring powered assets for fueling comprising:
- defining, via one or more processors, a geofence around a mobile fueling unit;
receiving, via the one or more processors, location data from a powered asset computing device associated with a powered asset, wherein the location data substantially identifies the location of the powered asset;
determining whether the powered asset is at least partially within the geofence defined around the mobile fueling unit; and
after determining that the powered asset is at least partially within the geofence defined around the mobile fueling unit, generating a command to cause the powered asset to emit a perceivable indication.

Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for monitoring powered assets for fueling. For example, in one embodiment, a fuel server can monitor the location of powered assets and fueling units. In response to determining, for example, that a powered asset that needs fuel is within a predetermined geofence defined around a fueling unit, the powered asset can emit a perceivable indication. The powered asset can then be authenticated for receiving fuel from the fueling unit.
