EXISTING LOCKING SYSTEM
Petroleum products are distributed from HPCL storage locations, i.e. depots terminals/ TOPs (Tap-off
points) to retail outlets for further sale to the end customer. The products are transported from
depots to retail outlets in tank trucks. These tank trucks may be company owned, dealer owned
(owned by the retail outlet dealer) or contractor owned (third party). The dealer and contractor
trucks operate under an agreement with HPCL. Such agreements are typically for 3 years. The tank
trucks may be of varying capacities e.g. 10 KL 12 KL, 16KL, 20 KL etc. Recently, a few 25 KL Volvo
trucks have been introduced by HPCL. The no. of compartments may be 3, 4 or 5. The distribution of
no. of TTs all over India with 3,4 or 5 compartments is approximately:



TTs with 3 Compartments: 20 %
TTs with 4 Compartments: 70 %
TTs with 5 Compartments: 10 %
Each compartment has an opening at the top and an outlet valve at the bottom. Apart from the
main opening meant for filling, there is also a small hole at the top for the dip rod. The openings are
provided with threaded caps and are covered with a hemispherical dome cover or lid. The dome
cover may be of aluminum or steel. The dome covers are hinged at one end and have a locking
arrangement at the other end.
Tank trucks may carry a single product or mixed load or a load of variants of the same product.
Typically, a number of outlets are attached to one depot/terminal. In exceptional cases other outlets
may also be fed. There is also a concept of “bridging” which means stock transfer from one depot to
another. The depot receives indent from the customer (retail outlet with or without cheque/DD) (as
per payment terms/credit allowed to each customer). The depot fills the truck as per the indent.
Most of the locations have only top loading facilities. Some locations have recently been provided
with bottom loading facilities for filling of Volvo trucks.
After loading, the TT top hatches (dome covers) and bottom valves are locked withAbloy/Godrej
locks. A delivered supply means it is the responsibility of HPCL to supply the product of correct
quantity/quality at the receiving location (i.e. the retail outlet in this case). Each dome cover and
bottom valve is locked. A particular set of Abloy/ Godrej locks is assigned to a dealer. One set of
key(s) of this set of locks is with the dealer. The depot incharge has one master key of all locks
within his jurisdiction.
After the truck is sealed/ locked, the driver collects the invoice and proceeds to the destination.
At the destination (Retail outlet), the locks are opened. The dips of each compartment are checked.
The sample density/ temperature is checked. After the dealer is satisfied with the quality and
quantity, the product is unloaded into the underground tank.

10. FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
1. Electronic padlocks shall be employed for locking the top dome covers & the bottom outlet
valve box / assembly unit, with 2 padlocks being used per TT.
2. Modification will have to be carried out for each tank truck to secure the top dome covers
with a common cross bar as well as the bottom valves with a common valve box, both of
sturdy quality.
3. Every padlock will be uniquely identified and the keys will operate based on the unique code
for every lock. Each key will programmed such that it can open several assigned padlocks
4. The keys and the locks shall be programmed one-time and assigned to a particular tank
truck, utilizing the key programming unit. This programming will be done at a central
location – one in each zone, which will allow HPCL to control the key management and issual
mechanisms effectively.
5. The key shall be housed in a secure key housing (smart box) which will be mounted on the
TT. The key will be locked into position in the smartbox, until an authentication event (smart
card) triggers the release of the key from the smartbox. The smartbox shall also have a
keypad for dual authentication, which will be used to type in the trip based codes at the RO
end / fixed codes at the terminal end.
6. The smart box will be in communication with the central server at all times through GPRS
(when outside terminal) or wireless (when in terminal).
7. The smartbox will have own geofencing capability, alongwith capability of integration at a
later date with any additional VTS installed on the TT. The smartbox shall allow the release
of the key only when the tank truck is in the desired latlong position / geofence at the
terminal / retail outlet. The GPS/GPRS capability shall be such that it if the home network is
not available it shall catch the next available network.
8. The trip based codes shall be transmitted securely over the system, via SMS to the
authorized person in the RO. Simultaneously, the system should also send the code to a
registered email id.
9. Additionally, a GPRS-based mobile app will be created, which has to be downloaded on the
dealer’s mobile. After the truck leaves the terminal, the system will push the trip code to the
respective dealer as a webpage, which can be accessed by the dealer on his GPRS enabled
phone, via suitable login. This will avoid inconvenience in situations wherein the SMS has not
been received. The “app” can be deployed on the dealer’s mobile through a system SMS or
through an email he can be asked to download via a particular secure domain. The app can
be designed for Symbian, Java, Windows Mobile and Android phones, which will cover most
of the phones in the marketplace. However, we can still keep the SMS as an optional /
emergency service.
10. The key shall be retrieved from the smart box for only a specified time-limit. If the key is not
returned within the time-limit, suitable system alarms shall be generated. Alarms shall be in
the form of sufficiently audible beeps on the smart box and the central system, as well as
visual event indicators on the smart box and the central system.

tampering, vandalism attempts) associated with it.
14. The lock shall have internal memory of at least 500 (transactions of about a month)
transactions. The transactions will be defined in such a way that for a particular trip there
will be 4 “open” & 4 “close” processes allowed for each lock. The locks should preferably not
have any battery (to meet Atex criteria) and should be activated either through contact with
the key or through mechanical motion of the key. However, if padlocks with battery, are
able to meet Atex criteria the same will also be acceptable.
15. The system shall have the capability to generate alarms & alerts of various events in the
form of GUI representations as well as via SMS, automated phone calls & emails.
16. The padlocks, keys & the smart box shall be suitable for outdoor use with IP65 ratings.
17. All keys (including the master keys) shall have RFID tags so as to ensure that key
displacement beyond permissible distances shall generate system alarms.
18. The system components shall have the necessary statutory safety compliances &
certifications - Indian (PESO) as well as international (ATEX and /or IECEX). The padlocks shall
be intrinsically safe. In case a participating bidder/OEM meeting the desired specifications
does not have the PESO certification at the time of the submission of the proposal, the same
company will be asked to provide a self-declaration to the effect that the PESO certification
process has been initiated.
19. The system shall enable deliveries of part loads whenever required. This shall be done
through separate identification of part-load trucks (which will have separate padlocks per
compartment).
20. The system shall generate all required alerts and reports such as trip based event summary,
active (open) locks, active keys, keys / locks in transit, vehicles in transit, abnormal events,
and so on.
21. The entire system shall be managed by a secure call centre operation which will be run 24 x
7 and which will have a toll free number and adequate authorizations for requesting
information. The call center may be brought into play even in case of trip codes not being
delivered to the retail destination. In such scenarios, multiple security authentications will
be designed into the system so that the trip code is verbally handed over to the right person
at the RO.
22. The system shall have the capability to release the key in emergency situations, when the
truck is not either at the terminal or at the retail outlet. This shall be done by remotely
managing the smartbox, wherein on activation of an emergency mode, the key should be
released using the TT smart card and the emergency code.

12. PROPOSED PROCESS
Currently, most of the TTs operate with a Top loading / Bottom unloading mechanisms and they may
carry more than one grade of product in different compartments. As a part of the new locking
system it is expected that a sturdy cross (link) bar will be passed through the dome covers so that
only one lock is required on the top (Common Locking system) and the other for the valve box that
covers the outlet valves at the bottom (OV) Thus, each TT is expected to have two padlocks.
The following process is expected to be followed once the proposed TTLS is commissioned.
12.1 At the Terminal
1. New TTs shall need to get registered in the system and be assigned padlocks & keys. Also, a
smartbox with unique serial number will be fitted within the cabin to house the key. The
smartbox will draw power from the truck battery and will be fitted in a non-tamperable
manner. In case of tampering/power disruption, the system will detect & record the time
and the location where the event has occurred.
2. Empty TT will arrive at the terminal gate and will be allowed entry into the Terminal after
document verification and biometric authentication of the TT crew.
3. The TT will be taken to the queuing area, where the key-in-charge (KIC) of the Terminal will
open the smart box (fitted on the TT) using his biometric smart card.
4. This action will erase the previous trip authentications in the smartbox. This will also trigger
the data exchange between the wireless transceivers on the smart box and in the terminal
control room.
5. The smart box will recognize the geofencing coordinates of the location and only then allow
the key to be extracted from the smart box. (In case the padlocks have GPS capability, then
this feature can be applied directly to the padlock itself).
6. The KIC will use the key in the smartbox to unlock the padlock(s) on the TDCs. The key
cannot be taken out, with the padlock in unlocked condition.
7. A master key will reside in a secure key cabinet within the control room, secured using
biometric identification and will require two person authentication for opening. The
extraction of the master key shall also generate adequate audit trails. The master key shall
be used only in exceptional circumstances, when the key on the TT is lost or not working.
8. The smart box will be programmed in a way that the system will generate an alarm in case
the key is not returned into the smart box within a specified interval.
9. The SKH will also perform the role of programming and reprogramming the keys as well as
communicating various events to the central server via a wireless access point within the
Terminal.
10. After the loading operation is complete, the TT will be taken back to the queuing area where
the KIC will release the key from the smart box and use it to lock the TDCs.
Tender for HPCL-TTLS - Page 29
Strictly Confidential
11. This activity will signify the completion of the loading process (the KIC may be provided an
additional button on the smartbox to indicate the completion of the activity) and prompt the
system to interact with the JDEdwards system for receipt (from JDE) of destination data and
intimation (to JDE) of the completion of the loading operation, so that exit documentation
for the tank truck may be prepared.
12. Simultaneously, the smartbox will be reconfigured by the system to be used at the consignee
retail outlet. A trip based code will be sent to the authorized person at the retail outlet via
SMS / email for releasing the key from the smartbox. This will also serve as an intimation of
the truck leaving the terminal.
13. Once the truck leaves the terminal the fixed codes for the smartbox (to be used when TT is
in the terminal) will be rendered invalid.
14. All the events will be communicated to the central server.
12.2 At the RO
1. Once the TT reaches the RO, the dealer or the authorized person will extract the key from
the smartbox, using his smart card and the random, trip based code received via SMS/email.
The system will also verify the latlong coordinates to enable the key extraction. In case the
SMS / email has not been received, the dealer can call the toll free number to check the
status of the SMS/email delivery.
2. The dealer will open both the TDCs and the OV and will do so in combination with the
geofencing capability of the system.
3. The disengagement of the key from the SKH will be recorded by the system to generate an
alarm for disengagement beyond a specified period.
4. Oncethe unloading operation is complete, the dealer will perform the system operations by
locking the TDC’s and OV’s. Before the empty truck leaves the RO, the engagement of the
keys with the smartboxwill ensure that the trip-codes are rendered invalid and the locks can
be re opened only at the Terminal.
12.3 Emergency Operation
1. In case of emergencies, the TT crew / authorized person from the TT operator will dial the
call centre support. On verification, the call centre personnel will escalate the matter to the
appropriate location in charge.
2. The system shall have the capability to enable the location-n-charge to transmit the code to
an authorized person that will enable emergency opening of the TT valves, using the key in
the SKH. An appropriate workflow shall be defined in the system, for at least two-level
escalation.
3. This can be done by remotely activating the emergency mode for the smartbox (with
suitable authorization) and enabling the TT smartcard with a code, to open the smartbox.

30. ANNEXURE XIII - PROCESSES
New Process at the Terminal
Empty TT arrives at
the terminal gate
Allowed entry into the Terminal
after document verification and
biometric authentication of the
TT crew.
TT taken to the queuing area,
where the key-in-charge (KIC) of
the Terminal will open the smart
box (fitted on the TT) using his
biometric smart card.
This action will erase the previous
trip authentications in the
smartbox.
It will also trigger the data
exchange between the wireless
transceivers on the smart box and
in the terminal control room.
The smart box will recognize the
geofencing coordinates of the
location and only then allow the
key to be extracted from the
smart box.
The KIC will use the key in the
smartbox to unlock the padlock(s)
on the dome covers. The key shall
be removable in locked position
only.
The smart box will generate an
alarm in case the key is not
returned into the smart box
within a specified interval.
After the loading operation, the
TT will be taken back to the
queuing area where the KIC will
release the key from the smart
box and use it to lock the TDCs.
This activity will signify the
completion of the loading process
It will initiate interaction with the
JDEdwards system for receipt
(from JDE) of destination data
and intimation (to JDE) of the
completion of the loading
operation
Exit documentation for the tank
truck is prepared.
The smartbox will be
reconfigured by the system to be
used at the consignee retail
outlet.
A trip based code will be sent to
the authorized person at the
retail outlet via SMS / email for
releasing the key from the
smartbox. This will also serve as
an intimation of the truck leaving
the terminal.
Once the truck leaves the
terminal the fixed codes for the
smartbox (to be used when TT is
in the terminal) will be rendered
invalid.
All the events will be
communicated to the
central server.
Tender for HPCL-TTLS - Page 119
New Process at the RO
The TT reaches the RO
The authorized person at the RO will
extract the key from the smartbox,
using his smart card and the random,
trip based code received via SMS/email.
In case the SMS / email has not been
received, the dealer can call the toll free
number to check the status of the
SMS/email delivery.
The disengagement of the key from the
smart box will be recorded by the
system to generate an alarm for
disengagement beyond a specified
period.
Once the unloading operation is
complete, the dealer will perform the
system operations by locking the TDC’s
and OV’s.
The engagement of the keys with the
smartbox will ensure that the trip-codes
are rendered invalid and the locks can
be re opened only at the Terminal.
Tender for HPCL-TTLS - Page 120
The system will also verify the latlong
coordinates to enable the key
extraction.
TT leaves the RO for the
