Claims10
A fueling station comprising:
- a roadside unit positioned at the fueling station and configured to communicate with a plurality of on-board units associated with respective vehicles via a respective wireless connection between the roadside unit and each of the plurality of on-board units;
- and
- at least one controller coupled to the roadside unit, the at least one controller configured to process fueling information received by the roadside unit via each respective wireless connection and configured to cause at least one action to be performed based on an expected refueling demand at the fueling station determined at least in part from the received fueling information,
- wherein the at least one action comprises causing at least one component of the fueling station to be powered down or powered up based on the expected refueling demand.

A fueling station, comprising:
- a roadside unit positioned at the fueling station and configured to communicate with on-board units associated with respective vehicles via respective wireless connections between the roadside unit and respective on-board units, wherein the roadside unit is configured to establish direct connections with on-board units of vehicles within range of the roadside unit and is configured to establish indirect connections with on-board units of vehicles that are out-of-range of the roadside unit;
- and
- at least one controller coupled to the roadside unit, the at least one controller configured to process fueling information received by the roadside unit via established wireless connections and configured to cause at least one action to be performed based on an expected refueling demand at the fueling station determined at least in part from the received fueling information,
- wherein the at least one controller is configured to determine trend data representing one or more trends in refueling demand based at least in part on the received fueling information.
