IOT based smart garbage monitoring system using LoRa WAN

Project Title

IOT based smart garbage monitoring system using LoRa WAN

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

Project will provide software based hardware to City Municipal Corporations and Metropolitan Authorities to monitor the level of waste and periodically manage it. The proposed digital system sends real-time notifications to concerned officials and monitoring of waste dustbins, kept in different location across the cities. This project will create high and low skill jobs like operators, drivers and cleaners. It is not only a project but also a startup for business that will generate the revenue  and reduce the poverty rate in Pakistan. To smoothen the management of waste and to adopt proactive approach rather than reactive approach after mismanagement of garbage across the country, solution is over all highly admired and accepted in Pakistan’s Municipal Authorities, for proper management and to ensure healthy environment for life with great efficiency.

Our idea will introduce the features across worldwide given below:

• Real- Time SMS notification and minute by minute Data extraction of;

1. Environment Quality – Garbage level, Moisture, Static Pressure, Flame
2. Surveillance system can be used as an assistive technology for high quality of service in waste collection.
3. Central Monitoring of solid waste management system across cities of Pakistan.

Project Objectives

The solution's objectives are as under:

• As the population of a city grows, the necessity for a proper waste management becomes critical.
• Following are some objectives having a smart waste management system: 

1. To control different types of pollutions, e.g., air pollution, soil pollution etc.
2. To stop the spread of infectious diseases.
3. Reduce the amount of time and energy required to provide waste management services. 

• 99% visibility of solid waste management of cities across the country or Continents.
• Single Dashboard for Monitoring and Management of different cities.
• Health status at a glance such as decrement in diseases ratio, mortality rate and enhance growth rate, health, and Life expectancy.
• An IoT based system that can help concerned staff to monitor the garbage level at anytime.
• It gives adequate information about the management of garbage across the Metropolitans.
• Real-time triggers in SMS, emails, notifications to take immediate actions related to garbage level.
• Help the cleaning authority of city with the detail information of waste management and manage it to get maximum outcome.
• Intelligent data collection and analysis to improve effectiveness of proposed IoT based Smart garbage monitoring system.
• To ensure the protection of the environment through effective waste management.

Project Implementation Method

The project implementation will be based on following flow:

• Product developments of devices have to meet International standards for    commercial.
• R&D required for some advance feature like real time monitoring of garbage inside garbage bins.
• Proper setup for marketing, this solution for national as well as international   companies.
• Global sales setups have to target sales in unhygienic and polluted countries.
• Setup for operational, infra structure and managerial departments.

Benefits of the Project

Smart garbage system will provide benefits enlisted below:

•  It saves time and money.
• It overcomes traffic flow and consecutively noise due to less air pollution as result of    less waste collection vehicles on the roads.
•  It keeps our environment clean and green as it also agree with our national objective of “Keep Pakistan Clean and Green”.
• It reduces manpower requirements to handle the waste collection process.
• It creates jobs in order to overcome the poverty rate.
• It helps government to generate extra revenue by advertisement of smart devices.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Proposed Waste management system uses smart world technologies like IoT, Big data and Artificial Intelligence.

The technical details for the project are:

• There will be microcontroller which will collects the data from sensors and detectors and then push it to the cloud application.
• Sensors and detectors will be used to ensure the performance as well as device security i.e: sensors are used to measure garbage level while detectors are used here to provide safety to the device.
• LCD screen will be used to display that the bins are fully filled and real time notification will be sent to drivers by concerned authorities in order to empty the bins.
•  There will be cloud which will be capable to hold highly frequent data from smart bins kept in different areas.
• An application will be used to monitor the smart bins by concerned authorities to ensure the cleanliness.
