Abstract (en)

Guide flap system (100) for a refuse collection vehicle (1), comprising:• a guide flap (101) moveable along a trajectory from a lowered position to a predetermined raised position,• a sensor (121) configured to sense a predetermined sensing position of the guide flap relative to the trajectory and to generate a sensor signal (121 a) representative for the guide flap being at the predetermined sensing position, and• a processor unit (122) configured to receive the sensor signal, and generating a processor signal in dependence of the received sensor signal.The guide flap system is configured to determine according to a predetermined criterion whether the guide flap has followed at least part of the trajectory. The processor unit is configured to generate said processor signal if: the guide flap is arranged in the predetermined raised position, and the predetermined criterion has been met during moving of the guide flap along the trajectory into the predetermined raised position.
