Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018166836A1] A system (100) for documenting tipping processes on a landfill site (99) is provided, which system has the following: a stationary computer unit (1) with a database (12) and with a first communication means (11); at least one drone (2) which is capable of flying which and has an image-recording device (22), and with a second communication means (21); at least one non-stationary target-marking unit (3) to be provided on or in a vehicle (4), wherein the target-marking unit (3) has a third communication means (31); and wherein the system (100) is configured in such a way that the drone (2) can follow the target-marking unit (3) during flight, wherein when the vehicle (4) drives onto the landfill site the target-marking unit (3) can be provided on or in the vehicle (4), and the tipping process of the vehicle (4) can be detected; and when the tipping process is detected the image-recording device (22) of the drone (2) can record the tipping process of the vehicle (4); and the drone (2) can communicate the detection and recording of the tipping process to the computer unit (1) for storage in the database (12).
