PREFACE

The Naval Underwater Systems Center's mission is to be the Navy's

principal research, development, and test and evaluation center for sub,

marine warfare and submarine weapon systems. The project described in~this

report is part of an ancillary Center program called Technology'Transfer. ?It

represents a small part of the Center's overall program m terms of effort; and

budget, but is significant in terms of returning the:benefitsl o f FederM:

research and development to the public andprivate sectors.

?

The project was jointly sponsored by the Naval Underwater Systems Center, the National Science Foundation, and the New York City Police Department. It was conducted under NUSC Projects A90614 and B90614, NSF Grant ISP 7419143 (GT 43500), and NYCPD Contracts 0159000008, 0151POC,419, and 0151005000; Principal Investigator, Mr, WiUiam J. McGrath (Code 001); Program Manager, Mr. Michael C. Ahrens (Cod e

0702).

The Technical Reviewer for this report was Mr. Robert J. Donovan(Code 07), Program and Financial Manager.

The New York City Police Department's (NYCPD)"automated Fuel monitoring system Was1

~'

i n i t i a t e d in 1977 by the Naval Underwater Systems Center (NUSC) and became opera-

~~i

tional in September 1981. For this study, a flowchart was prepared of the exisCing

!~

manual fuel control system from which i t was revealed t h a t : ( I ) a l l transactions

.'..:

were manually recorded in a gasoline and o i l receipt book by the pump attendant and

were signed by the department vehicle operator; (2) the system required the services?

of a f u l l - t i m e pL,:~p attendant for at least two of the three d a i l y duty s h i f t s ; and

"'

(3) eaci~ precinct was responsible for reordering i t s own Fuel from the vendor. After

~

~-

a data c o l l e c t i o n e f f o r t , a number of recording errors were noted and the major

system problems were i d e n t i f i e d . An automated fuel system was proposed and a p i l o t

!

project was undertaken to determine the system's effectiveness. System design,

i

s p e c i f i c a t i o n s , configuration, and implementation are discussed in the report, and

1

ti~e system's cost and benefitsare noted.
