Garbage Truck Camera Systems
Garbage Truck Camera System
To address issues in traditional waste collection such as route deviation, driving risks, and supervision difficulties, Yuwei has developed an in-house fleet camera system. It provides sanitation companies with a fully integrated digital solution that combines intelligent monitoring, data analytics, and remote management—helping achieve both cost reduction and efficiency improvement while ensuring safe operations.
Challenges in Waste Collection Management
1.1 Lack of Visibility During Operations
Tracking garbage trucks in real time is difficult, resulting in frequent route deviations, speeding, and idle stops. These issues reduce operational efficiency and create safety risks.
1.2 Difficulty in Controlling Driver Behavior
Dangerous behaviors such as fatigue driving, phone use, and failure to wear seat belts lack effective monitoring, increasing the likelihood of accidents and endangering drivers and pedestrians.
1.3 Hard to Assess Work Quality
Improper waste loading, unsealed containers, and leakage or spillage rely on manual inspections, making closed-loop management difficult. This negatively impacts city appearance and resident satisfaction.
Yuwei Fleet Camera System
Yuwei’s garbage truck camera management system integrates GPS/BeiDou dual-mode positioning, AI vision recognition, 4G wireless transmission, and other technologies. It provides sanitation fleets with end-to-end supervision from task scheduling to operation verification.
2.1 Real-Time Location and Route Tracking
① All-weather satellite positioning:Each garbage truck is equipped with a professional onboard terminal supporting GPS + BeiDou dual-mode positioning. Accuracy reaches sub-meter levels, transmitting real-time vehicle location, speed, and direction.
② Geofencing management:Predefined operational areas in the backend trigger audio-visual alerts and work orders if a vehicle deviates from its route or exceeds speed limits. Managers can intervene remotely.
2.2 Proactive Driving Safety
① ADAS Advanced Driver Assistance:Features such as Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and Blind Spot Detection (BSD) capture road conditions through visual sensors and provide voice alerts 1.5 seconds in advance, reducing collision risks from fatigue or distraction.
② DSM Driver Status Monitoring:In-cabin cameras detect driver behaviors such as closed eyes, yawning, smoking, or phone use. Alerts are categorized and sent to the management platform for targeted training and assessment.
2.3 Intelligent Compliance Verification
① Container status visualization:Rear high-definition cameras monitor waste loading in real time. AI algorithms automatically check container sealing and load limits, preventing spillage.
② Digital operation process:The system records vehicle start/stop times, time spent in operational areas, and dumping frequency, generating visual reports to support performance evaluation and cost accounting.
2.4 Remote Operations and Data Empowerment
① Cloud data management:All vehicle operation data and video footage are uploaded to the Yuwei cloud platform, accessible across devices for in-depth analysis, revealing insights on vehicle utilization and fault frequency.
② Emergency dispatch:In urgent situations, managers can respond quickly with voice alerts, remote speed limits (as low as 30 km/h), and one-click fuel cutoff to ensure operational safety.
Yuwei AI Dash CAM V8N
As an extension of fleet management, the V8N AI Dashboard Camerais designed for commercial vehicles. It combines driving recording with intelligent risk control and is optimized for waste collection scenarios:
Dual-camera recording for complete coverage:
1. Front 1080P wide-angle lens covers 360° around the vehicle.
2. In-cabin 720P infrared camera monitors driver status.
3. Supports real-time 4G transmission for managers to access key road footage anytime.
Multi-dimensional safety alerts:
Provides forward collision warning, pedestrian collision warning, rapid acceleration/deceleration detection, and 12 other active safety functions, combined with audio-visual alerts and platform notifications.
Flexible deployment, plug-and-play:
1. Industrial-grade waterproof design fits various vehicle models.
2. Supports CAN bus integration and is compatible with existing sensors.
3. Installation and setup can be completed in as little as 30 minutes.
Real-World Case
Yuwei fleet camera systems currently serve sanitation companies in over 30 countries, collaborating with top vehicle manufacturers such as Dongfeng, FAW Jiefang, and CNHTC. A European municipal sanitation project showed:
1. Vehicle violation rates decreased by 62%
2. Fuel consumption reduced by 15%
3. Operational complaints dropped near zero
This demonstrates a true win-win for both economic and social benefits.
