Abstract
A material collection system includes a conduit, a vacuum generator coupled to the conduit, an engine powering the vacuum generator, and a container mounted to a chassis of a vehicle. The vacuum generator generates airflow for drawing material into a material inlet of the conduit. The container receives collected material from the conduit. The material collection container can receive collected material from the conduit. The control system can include a load sensor and a controller in electrical communication with the load sensor. The load sensor can detect a load applied by the collected material received in the material collection container and transmit an output signal indicating the load applied by the collected material. The controller can determine a weight of the collected material received in the material collection container based on the output signal and determine an aggregate weight of the vehicle using the determined weight of the collected material.
