System having automated route detection and app initiation
First Claim
1. A system for managing waste services by a service vehicle, comprising:
- a locating device configured to generate a location signal indicative of a location of the service vehicle;
a sensor configured to generate a service signal indicative of a waste service being performed by the service vehicle; and
a controller in communication with the locating device and the sensor, the controller being configured to;
make a determination that the service vehicle has made at least one service stop based on the location and service signals;
make a comparison of characteristics of the at least one service stop with characteristics of one or more service stops of at least one known service route; and
based on the comparison, selectively record the characteristics of each stop in the at least one known service route.

Abstract
A system is disclosed for managing waste services by a service vehicle. The system may have a locating device configured to generate a location signal, a sensor configured to generate a service signal indicative of a waste service being performed, an input device, and a controller in communication with the locating device, the sensor, and the input device. The controller may be configured to make a determination that the service vehicle has made at least one service stop based on the location and service signals, and to make a comparison of characteristics of the at least one service stop with characteristics of at least one service stop of at least one known service route. Based on the comparison, the controller may be further configured to selectively transmit the recorded characteristics offboard the service vehicle.

10. A method for managing waste services by a service vehicle, the method comprising:
-
generating a location signal indicative of a location of the service vehicle; generating a service signal indicative of a waste service being performed by the service vehicle; making a determination that the service vehicle has made at least one service stop based on the location and service signals; making a comparison of characteristics of the at least one service stop with characteristics of one or more of at least one known service route; and based on the comparison, selectively displaying a graphical user interface on an input device inside of the service vehicle, showing information associated with the at least one known service route. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer-executable programming instructions for performing a method for managing waste services by a service vehicle, the method comprising:
-
generating a location signal indicative of a location of the service vehicle; generating a service signal indicative of a waste service being performed by the service vehicle; making a determination that the service vehicle has made at least one service stop based on the location and service signals; making a comparison of characteristics of the at least one service stop with characteristics of one or more service stops of at least one known service route; and based on the comparison, selectively displaying a graphical user interface on an input device inside of the service vehicle, showing information associated with the at least one known service route. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
