Smart Waste Container System

A processing system for calculating a current fill status of a container using a plurality of presence sensor interactions, the processing system comprising:

• a remote communication unit for receiving presence sensor interaction data from the container;
• a remote processing unit comprising a fill status data model wherein the fill status data model comprises data correlating the current fill status of the container with the presence sensor interaction data;
• wherein the remote processing unit is adapted to issue a fill status signal representative of the current fill status of the container;
• and
• wherein the remote processing unit is adapted to transmit, using the remote communication unit, the fill status signal to a control center.

A method for calculating a current fill status of a container using a plurality of presence sensor interactions, the method comprising,

• detecting, using a detection unit, the plurality of presence sensor interactions;
• recording numbers of the plurality of presence sensor interactions as a presence sensor interaction data in a local counting unit;
• transmitting the presence sensor interaction data from the local counting unit to a remote processing unit;
• processing the presence sensor interaction data using the remote processing unit;
• calculating the current fill status of the container from the processed presence sensor interaction data using a fill status data model, wherein the fill status data model comprises data correlating the fill status of the container with the presence sensor interaction data;
• and
• generating a fill status signal indicative of the current fill status of the container, calculated by the remote processing unit.

A method for creating a fill status data model for enabling predicting a predicted fill status of a container using the fill status data model, the method comprising:

• inputting a plurality of data relating to the current fill status of the container and a plurality of presence sensor interactions in the remote processing unit;
• correlating the current fill status with the plurality of presence sensor interactions using a machine learning algorithm;
• and
• creating the fill status data model from the correlating of the current fill status.
