More Information
Summary:A waste management system audits waste collected by a service vehicle from clients. The system has a camera capturing images of waste collected in the collection hopper of the service vehicle. A controller compares the waste images to event criteria to determine if a service event has occurred and then associates a client with the service event, in which the client is identified by an accompanying identification system. The controller then identifies one or more waste images as event image data associated with the service event subsequent to determination that the service event has occurred and compares the event image data to content criteria to make an inference regarding a content of the collected waste. The inference is stored in association with the identified client and can trigger further action, for example notifications to the client or automated adjustments to invoicing to the client.
