Truck Camera and Safety System

A truck camera and safety system to prevent harm from being done to one or more individuals who accidentally fall into a hopper. The overall system includes a truck having a lift arm mechanism and a hopper. At least one camera and temperature sensor are disposed within the hopper. A control module is operably connected to cameras and a temperature sensor, as well as to one or more vehicle systems, via a vehicle control interface disposed within the driver's cab of the truck. The control module includes a processor, a non-transitory computer readable medium operatively connected to the processor, and a logic stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to detect, via the temperature sensor, the temperature within the hopper. If the temperature detected is above a predetermined threshold temperature, the overall system is deactivated.
