Systems And Methods For Identifying And Collecting Banned Waste
US Patent:
8542121, Sep 24, 2013
Filed:
Jul 22, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/189200

Assignee:
Casella Waste Systems, Inc. - Rutland VT
International Classification:
G08B 13/14, G08B 1/08
US Classification:
3405721, 3405391, 34053913
Abstract:
Systems and methods for authorizing a waste item to be removed from a site. In one embodiment, a waste collection vehicle includes a reader configured to obtain identification information from an identification tag associated with the waste item. A transceiver associated with the vehicle is configured to: receive the identification information from the reader, wirelessly transmit the identification information to a remote computer for processing, and wirelessly receive an indication of whether the waste item should be collected and removed by the waste collection. The received indication is based on at least one hazardous characteristic associated with the identified waste item, a determination that the waste collection vehicle is authorized to collect the waste item having the at least one hazardous characteristic, and a determination that a driver of the waste collection vehicle is authorized to collect the waste item having the at least one hazardous characteristic.

International Classification:
G05B 19/00
US Classification:
340005200, 235375000, 340005710, 340005530
Abstract:
Systems and methods for authorizing a vehicle to proceed beyond an access point are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a system can include an identification reader configured to obtain various identification information from one or more identification mechanisms, a biometric reader configured to obtain biometric information from one or more persons, and a computer configured to receive the identification information and the biometric information. The computer determines whether the vehicle is authorized to proceed beyond the access point using the identification information and biometric information, and transmits a signal to a control mechanism to allow the vehicle to proceed beyond the access point.
