Lift and PTO sensors
A sensor on the lifter or the power take-off tells the tracker each time a bin is emptied, and the map shows the lift in its place.
A waste round is judged by the bins nobody emptied. When a resident or a building manager calls about a missed pickup, the crew’s word and the dispatcher’s sheet are often all you have. Doroobi Fleet replaces that with a record: the truck’s path on the map, the time it reached each street and, with a lift or PTO sensor, every lift marked where it happened.
The same record shows what costs money: queuing at the tip, engines left running while the crew works on foot, and late starts from the depot. Municipal contractors, private collectors serving towers and malls, and skip operators in Al Quoz, Mussafah and Sharjah’s industrial areas each see their own rounds, in Arabic and English.
What Doroobi Fleet sets up for waste fleets
Collection points as zones
Draw zones around bin stores, loading bays and skip sites. The zone visits report shows which ones each truck reached, and when.
Planned rounds, checked against the day
After launch, each round’s streets become a route corridor, with an alert when a truck leaves it or skips a section.
Fuel and engine hours from CAN
Compactors burn fuel while standing still. CAN data gives fuel use and engine hours per truck and per round, idling included.
Cameras for the rear and the cab
After launch, AI dashcams add clips of reversing, near misses and harsh braking, pinned to the street where they happened.
Service by engine hours
Hydraulics and compaction gear wear by the hour, so service reminders follow engine hours as well as the odometer.
How a collection day changes
Before dawn at the depot
The dispatcher sees which trucks are ready, which failed the driver’s inspection checklist and who is on each round, before the first truck leaves.
On the round
Lifts appear on the map as they happen. A truck that leaves its round or idles too long raises an alert while there is still time to act.
At the tip
Arrival and waiting time at the transfer station or landfill are recorded, so long queues show up in the report instead of in overtime.
After the shift
The round report lists streets served, lifts, distance, fuel and engine hours. When a complaint arrives, you replay the truck’s pass down that street.
Why our own map helps collection rounds
Collection trucks spend their day in small streets, service lanes and loading bays. Doroobi’s own 3D map shows the buildings around them with names in Arabic and English. Road reports from Doroobi drivers flag closures and roadwork on a round before the truck gets there, so the crew can plan the next street instead of reversing out of a blocked one.
Questions
Can it prove a bin was emptied, not only that the truck drove past?
Yes, with a lift or PTO sensor. Each lift is recorded with its time and position, beside the truck’s pass.
Does it work on rear-loaders, side-loaders and skip trucks?
Yes. The tracker is the same; only the sensor changes with the way each truck lifts or tips.
Can a client see the truck coming?
Yes. Send the building manager a live link for a time you choose; it stops working when the time ends.
Do waste trucks in Abu Dhabi need approved tracking?
Commercial fleets in Abu Dhabi fall under Asateel, which needs a device from its approved list. Doroobi Fleet is not on that list today, so check with Abu Dhabi Mobility which of your vehicles it covers.
