WASTE MANAGMENT SYSTEM FOR ASSOCIATING REFUSE BINS TO CORRESPONDING USERS
First Claim
1. A waste management system for associating a collected refuse bin with a corresponding user of that bin:
- the system comprising;
a location tracker unit on-board a collection vehicle for recording the co-ordinates of each refuse bin during refuse collection therefrom by the collection vehicle,a central server configured for communication with each of a plurality of collection vehicles so that the co-ordinates of each refuse bin collected during a refuse collection may be communicated to the central server,the server being further configured to effect a datastore lookup for comparing the co-ordinates of the collected refuse bins with pre-recorded geographical data of a plurality of users for associating each refuse bin to a corresponding user.

Abstract
A waste management system for associating a collected refuse bin with a corresponding user of that bin. The system comprises a GPS tracker unit on-board a collection vehicle for recording the GPS co-ordinates of each refuse bin during refuse collection therefrom by the collection vehicle. A central server is configured for communication with each of a plurality of collection vehicles so that the GPS co-ordinates of each refuse bin collected during a refuse collection may be communicated to the central server. The server is further configured to effect a datastore lookup for comparing the GPS co-ordinates of the collected refuse bins with pre-recorded geographical data of a plurality of users for associating each refuse bin to a corresponding user.

27. A waste management system for associating a collected refuse bin with a corresponding user of that bin, the system comprising:
-
a unit on-board a collection vehicle for generating a plurality of parameters representative of a collection vehicle during the vehicles'"'"' progress along a route, a central server configured for communication with each of a plurality of collection vehicles so that the parameters may be communicated to the central server, the server being further configured to effect a datastore lookup for comparing the parameters with pre-recorded data of a plurality of users for associating each refuse bin to a corresponding user.

28. A method of associating a collected refuse bin with a corresponding user of that bin, the method comprising:
-
storing pre-recorded data associated with registered users, generating a plurality of parameters representative of a collection vehicle during the vehicle'"'"'s progress along a route, and comparing the generated plurality of parameters with the pre-recorded data for associating one or more collected refuse bin to corresponding users. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32)
