This application is to measure the number of garbage trucks, the volume of garbage and the operation of garbage vehicles.
In this case, it aims to measure the number of garbage trucks which are entering and leaving the landfill.
Then in truck operations to measure the needs of trucks being transported.
Later can be known the number of trucks to be provided in proportion to the amount of volume of incoming garbage.
