Zusammenfassung:The road sweeping vehicle 100 comprises a debris suction mechanism 114 for removing material, e.g. dirt, litter, from a road surface. The road sweeping vehicle includes an alert system (154, figure 3) for detecting abnormal operation of the debris suction mechanism. Wherein the alert system comprises: a sensor (148, figure 3) arranged to detect an operating characteristic of the debris suction mechanism and output a detection signal that is indicative of the operating characteristic. Additionally, a controller (156, figure 3) is communicably connected to the sensor to receive the detection signal, the controller being arranged to: determine, based on the detection signal, if the debris suction mechanism is operating abnormally. Should the debris suction mechanism be operating abnormally then an alert notification is triggered. The invention also provides alert systems suitable for use in such vehicles.
