Seminar in Operations Research, Probability and Statistics
Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, BAS Akad.G.Bonchev St, bl. 8, 1113, SofiaOn April 28, 2026 (Tuesday) at 2:00 pm in room 503 of IMI-BAS Mihail Mukov (Intellics Engineering) will give a talk at the Operations Research, Probability and Statistics Seminar on: Modeling Lifting Systems in Waste Collection . Abstract: This presentation considers the problem of estimating the mass of waste emptied from individual containers by a garbage truck equipped with standard lifting forks for both large 1100-liter containers and smaller waste bins. The main objective is to develop a low-cost measurement system that can be applied to a wide range of truck configurations with only minimal hardware modification. The system combines an oil pressure sensor installed in the hydraulic circuit and a standard smartphone inertial measurement unit fixed on the lifting arm. The pressure sensor [...]
