Abstract
A system can include: a street sweeper configured to clean a street, the street sweeper including: a meter module to detect a consumption of water by the street sweeper, wherein the meter module is programmed to quantify an amount of water used by the street sweeper and to send the amount of water to a central server; and a street surface deviation detection device coupled to the street sweeper, the street surface deviation detection device being configured to measure changes in a surface of the street and send the changes to the central server; and the central server programmed to receive the amount of water.
Claims20
A street sweeper, comprising:
- at least one broom or sprayer configured to clean a street, and
- a meter module to detect a consumption of water by the street sweeper;
- wherein the meter module is programmed to quantify an amount of water used by the street sweeper in a given period of time during cleaning of the street and to send the amount of water to a central server.
A system, comprising:
- a street sweeper configured to clean a street, the street sweeper including a meter module to detect a consumption of water by the street sweeper, wherein the meter module is programmed to quantify an amount of water used by the street sweeper during cleaning of the street and to send the amount of water to a central server;
- and
- the central server programmed to receive the amount of water.
