المملكة: Today, it highlights the “Tuwaiq Station” Saudi innovation for artificial intelligence students in Jeddah

In a new technical achievement, a group of female students in the Department of Computer Engineering and Networks at the University of Jeddah was able to create a smart system that ends the suffering of waiting at fuel stations that work with artificial intelligence systems and the Internet of Things (IOT), which is a qualitative shift in the energy and logistical services sector in the Kingdom under the supervision of Professor Kawthar Al -Omari.
“Today” highlighted that project, which was called “Tuwaiq Station”, with inspiration from the saying of His Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, “for the Saudis as a greatness like Jabal Tuwaiq.”
The students explained that the project merges artificial intelligence techniques and computer vision to provide (prior reservation through a smart application and self -package using automatic arms and smooth electronic payment with automatic verification of the car board), in order to achieve 4 results represented in: “reduce congestion, improve service efficiency and protect workers And prevent tampering. “
The student, Areej Al -Salami, indicated that the story started when the students were working on a graduation project in the Department of Computer Engineering and Networks, where he noticed that traditional stations suffer from problems with the affected by the customer’s experience, waiting in the stations for a long time, or the lack of sufficient demand for gasoline, or Fraud by workers at the stations by playing with gasoline prices, and this got one of the students in the team.

“Therefore, they decided to design a station that is an ideal solution to finish or reduce the occurrence of these problems resulting from human interaction through total dependence on artificial intelligence techniques, specifically computer vision technology and digital image processing.”

While the student, Reem Al -Otaibi, explained that innovation took into account the improvement of operational efficiency in terms of dependence on artificial intelligence that speeds up the operational process, and also contributes to traffic management movement, and gain customer satisfaction and requirements, as well as accuracy in work that prevents any fuel leaks that occur It can lead to fires or diseases of workers.

She explained that this innovation is not just a university project, but rather a real step towards converting fuel stations into smart centers in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 in digital transformation and sustainability.
The student, Saja Ashmawi, said that the solution presented by the innovation is to design and build an application that allows the customer to pre -book before coming to the station. In this reservation, the customer can enter all the necessary requests from it, the number of his car plate, the amount of fuel, its type, and what the station is closest to it and is it available in it or Thus, he pays electronic to avoid waiting, as the station, and all this will record data on the base, when he goes to the station.

She added: “The station also owns a camera that photographed the car board and makes sure and works on the” Racker Bay “plate, to analyze the image and compare it with the plate number inserted from the application in the data base, if it is identical, the car will move on the course of the specified for packing and if it will continue to stand and available to others Entry and so on. “

The student Ghadeer Al -Salami continued to explain the phase stage, which expresses the function of the automatic arm and this is its task.
She added: “When you end, the car continues in the same path, and it does not move until the arm returns in its right place to avoid any collision problems that can happen.”
The student Latifa Al -Batah said that several technologies have been used for the project, including the Internet of Things, so that there is

The integration of devices operating at the same time is fully managed through artificial intelligence.
She explained that this innovation will represent a revolution in the fuel sector in the Kingdom in a manner commensurate with the Kingdom’s vision and the development of the logistical sector, noting that it is proud that they have succeeded in being part of the smart future of the Kingdom, where technology becomes the basis of all services.
