System, method, and app for managing waste services
First Claim
1. A system for providing a waste management app, comprising:
- a locating device disposed onboard a service vehicle and configured to generate a first signal indicative of a location of the service vehicle;
an input device;
at least one sensor disposed onboard the service vehicle and configured to generate a second signal associated with one of waste services being performed, wherein the at least one sensor is one of an acoustic sensor and an accelerometer; and
a controller in communication with the locating device, the input device, and the at least one sensor, the controller being configured to;
receive a route assignment including the waste services to be performed by the service vehicle;
track movement of the service vehicle during performance of the waste services based on the first signal;
determine completion of the one of the waste services based on the second signal;
provide a graphical user interface for display on the input device, listing the waste services from the route assignment to be performed by the service vehicle and showing a location of the service vehicle relative to at least one location at which the waste services are to be performed; and
cause the graphical user interface to display on the input device an indication of which of the waste services have been completed based on the second signal.

Abstract
A system is disclosed for providing a waste management app. The system may have a locating device disposed onboard a service vehicle and configured to generate a first signal indicative of a location of the service vehicle, an input device, and a controller. The controller may be configured to receive a route assignment including waste services to be performed by the service vehicle, and to track movement of the service vehicle during performance of the waste services based on the first signal. The controller may also be configured to provide a graphical user interface for display on the input device, listing the waste services from the route assignment to be performed by the service vehicle and showing a location of the service vehicle relative to at least one location at which the waste services are to be performed.

16. A method for providing a waste management app, the method comprising:
-
receiving a route assignment including waste services to be performed by a service vehicle; tracking movement of the service vehicle during performance of the waste services; determining completion of one of the waste services based on a signal associated with waste services being performed from at least one sensor including one of an acoustic sensor and an accelerometer; providing a graphical user interface for display to an operator of the service vehicle, listing the waste services from the route assignment to be performed by the service vehicle and showing a location of the service vehicle relative to at least one location at which the waste services are to be performed; and causing the graphical user interface to display an indication of which of the waste services have been completed based on the signal. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer-executable programming instructions for performing a method of providing a waste management app, the method comprising:
-
receiving a route assignment including waste services to be performed by the service vehicle; tracking movement of the service vehicle during performance of the waste services; providing a graphical user interface for display to an operator of the service vehicle, listing the waste services from the route assignment to be performed by the service vehicle and showing a location of the service vehicle relative to at least one location at which the waste services are to be performed; sensing when one of the waste services is being performed by the service vehicle based on a signal associated with waste services being performed from at least one sensor including one of an acoustic sensor and an accelerometer; and causing the graphical user interface to responsively display an indication of which of the waste services have been completed based on the signal.
