Load monitoring system for waste receptacle based on a speed of powertrain
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring waste collected by a service vehicle, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory;
one or more processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to execute instructions to perform operations comprising;
monitoring, by a sensor, a speed of a powertrain coupled to a service vehicle, the powertrain configured to power a lift actuator of the service vehicle;
determining when the service vehicle is at a service stop; and
determining a weight of waste inside a receptacle when the service vehicle is at the service stop based on signals from the sensor.

Abstract
A system is disclosed for monitoring waste collected by a service vehicle. The system may include a lift actuator configured to cause lifting of the waste, a power takeoff driven by a powertrain of the service vehicle to power the lift actuator, and a sensor configured to generate a speed signal indicative of a speed of the powertrain. The system may also include an output device, and a controller in communication with the sensor and the output device. The controller may be configured to receive the speed signal from the sensor, determine an amount of waste lifted by the lift actuator based on the speed signal, and relay the amount of waste to the output device.
