Intelligent, data gathering and communicating portable restrooms

Abstract

A portable restroom includes an enclosed interior space including a door, a waster tank, a commode disposed within the enclosed interior space and coupled to the waste tank, a power source, a microprocessor coupled to the power source, a memory coupled to the microprocessor, a waste level sensor disposed in the waste tank and coupled to the microprocessor; a door sensor positioned to sense whether the door is open or closed, a door lock sensor positioned to sense whether the door is locked or unlocked, and a light disposed within the enclosed interior space. Sensors can be provided to sense the closed status of the door and the status of the door lock. The light and sensors are coupled to the microprocessor. Additional sensors can monitor various levels and usage of consumables. The microprocessor monitors the sensed data and wirelessly alerts a service provider when the restroom needs service.
