Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring powered assets for fueling comprising: defining, via one or more processors, a geofence specifying location coordinates of the geofence around a mobile fueling unit configured to traverse locations in the geofence to dispense fuel; determining, via one or more processors, an estimated amount of fuel remaining in the powered asset based at least in part on ignition data; determining, via one or more processors, whether the estimated amount of fuel remaining in the powered asset is below a predetermined threshold; after determining that the estimated amount of fuel remaining in the powered asset is below the predetermined threshold, indicating, via one or more processors, that the powered asset needs fuel; 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.
