  • Publication number: 20080195442
    Abstract: A fuel management server creates a primary transaction record for a primary fueling agent assigned to a fueling transaction and a secondary transaction record for each secondary fueling agent assigned to the fueling transaction. Each fueling agent interacts with a fueling agent client device to collect fueling transaction data to be stored in the transaction records. Certain transaction data collected by the secondary fueling agent is shared with the primary fueling agent. The primary transaction record stores final fuel load data indicating the amount of fuel dispensed from a primary fueling vehicle and an aggregate amount of fuel dispensed during the fueling transaction. The secondary transaction record stores final fuel load data indicating the amount of fuel dispensed from a secondary fueling vehicle during the fueling transaction. Selected portions of the primary transaction record and the secondary transaction record may be accessed for purposes of reporting and presentation.

  • Patent number: 7376495
    Abstract: A fueling agent operates a fueling agent client device for collecting and generating transaction data relating to a fueling transaction. The fueling agent client device transmits the transaction data to a fuel management server, for example, via a wireless communications link. The fuel management server stores the transaction data in a transaction record. The transaction data includes final fuel load data indicating an amount of fuel dispensed during the fueling transaction. Selected transaction data is retrieved from the transaction record and is delivered to a data communications system for transmission to a receiver. The receiver may be in the cockpit of an aircraft. An aircraft data communication system may be a digital data link system for transmitting data to and from the aircraft via VHF radio, such as ACARS. The fuel management server may communicate with an aircraft data communication system directly, or indirectly via an airline computer system.
