Method and System for Wireless Vehicle Tank Monitoring
DRIVE
February 6, 2025
The present invention is a wireless vehicle tank monitoring system using non-contact fluid level sensors with adjustable sensitivity to measure fluid levels in recreational vehicle holding tanks. A smart device application on a portable computer receives real-time data via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication. The user-friendly interface displays graphical tank states. The system optimizes power efficiency through deep sleep and selective notification techniques, extending battery life. Sensors' sensitivity adapts to different tank wall thicknesses for accurate readings. The integration of non-contact sensors and power-efficient communication ensures reliability, easy installation, and real-time data transmission. This cost-effective solution effectively manages fluid levels in recreational vehicles.
