Systems and methods for intelligently managing and controlling waste and wastewater in an autonomous electric powered trailer

1 . A method for an automated cleaning of a respective waste tank in a recreational vehicle, the method comprising:

receiving, via one or more computers implementing one or more sensors, a cleaning initiation signal for initiating a cleaning of the respective waste tank, wherein the respective waste tank is one of a first waste tank or a second waste tank, wherein the second waste tank corresponds to a grey tank;

automatically purging first waste material from the first waste tank when the cleaning initiation signal is for the first waste tank, wherein purging the first waste tank includes:

pumping the first waste material out of the first waste tank through a first waste valve of a first waste passage positioned between the first waste tank and a waste outlet of the recreational vehicle, and

pumping the first waste material through the first waste valve to the waste outlet of the recreational vehicle;

automatically purging second waste material from the grey tank when the cleaning initiation signal is for the grey tank, wherein purging the grey tank includes:

pumping the second waste material out of the grey tank through a second waste passage that merges with the first waste passage at a second waste valve of the first waste passage that is downstream of the first waste valve and upstream of a waste pump arranged in the first waste passage, and

automatically activating the waste pump to pump the second waste material through the second waste valve of the first waste passage to the waste outlet of the recreational vehicle;

executing, via the one or more computers implementing the one or more sensors, an automated flushing of the respective waste tank with a flushing liquid based on sensor data identifying that a level of waste material within the respective waste tank indicates that the purging of the respective waste tank is complete, wherein flushing the respective waste tank includes opening a flush inlet valve upstream of the respective waste tank to guide a flow of flushing liquid into an inlet of the respective waste tank and out through the waste outlet of the recreational vehicle; and

transmitting, via the one or more computers implementing the one or more sensors, an electronic communication to a user interface that indicates a completion of the flushing of the respective waste tank based on a flushing completion signal indicating that a process of the automated flushing of the respective waste tank is complete.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the flushing liquid comprises greywater sourced from the grey tank of the recreational vehicle, and

opening the flush inlet valve causes the greywater to flow from the grey tank to the inlet of the first waste tank.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein flushing the respective waste tank further comprises:

opening a freshwater flush inlet valve upstream of the respective waste tank and downstream of a freshwater tank of the recreational vehicle to direct a flow of freshwater into the respective waste tank, and

closing the freshwater flush inlet valve based on at least one freshwater flush completion parameter has reached or crossed a corresponding freshwater flush completion threshold value.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein automatically purging the first waste material from the first waste tank further comprises:

automatically opening the first waste valve downstream of the first waste tank and upstream of the waste outlet, and

automatically activating the waste pump downstream of the first waste valve and upstream of the waste outlet.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, via the one or more computers, a purging completion communication to the user interface that indicates a completion of the purging of the respective waste tank.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein:

the purging completion communication comprises a user prompt to confirm a continuation of the automated cleaning of the respective waste tank, and

executing the automated flushing of the respective waste tank is based on receiving a confirmation response to the user prompt.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the purging of the respective waste tank is complete is further based on that a purging duration has reached or exceeded a purging duration threshold value.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein executing the automated flushing of the respective waste tank is further based on that a level of flushing liquid contained in a flushing liquid tank of the recreational vehicle is greater than a minimum threshold level of flushing liquid.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic communication comprises a user prompt to confirm or skip a treatment process of the respective waste tank, wherein the method further comprises:

executing an automatic treatment of the respective waste tank with a treatment solution based on receiving, via the one or more computers, a confirmation response to the electronic communication.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

executing an automatic treatment of the respective waste tank with a treatment solution based on that the automated flushing of the respective waste tank is complete, wherein executing the automatic treatment of the respective waste tank includes automatically pumping a volume of treatment chemical into the respective waste tank.
