Project Summary

Smart waste management is an idea where we can control lots of problems which disturbs the society in pollution and diseases. The waste management has to be done instantly else it leads to irregular management which will have adverse effect on nature. The Smart waste management is compatible mainly with concept of smart cities.

The Proposed system consist of main subsystems namely Smart Trash System (STS) and Smart Monitoring and Controlling Hut (SMCH). To avoid such situation we are planning to design ?IOT based waste management for smart cities. In this proposed system there are multiple waste bins located  through  the  city  or  the  campus,  these  waste bins  are  provided with  low  cost  embedded  device  which  helps  in tracking the level of the waste bins and an unique ID (longitude, latitude) will be provided for every waste bin in the city so that it is easy to identify which waste bin is fill. When the level reaches the threshold limit, the device will transmit the level along with the unique ID provided.  These  details  can  be  accessed  by  the  concern  authorities  from  their  place with  the  help  of internet and an immediate action can be made to clean the waste bins.

Project Objectives

This project falls under the category of embedded systems and android applications. The main objectives of our proposed system are as follows:

• Monitoring the waste management.
• Providing a smart technology for waste system.
• Avoiding human intervention.
• Reducing human time and effort
• Resulting in healthy and waste ridden environment.

Project Implementation Method

The bin with ultrasonic sensor, PIC controller, GSM and GPS will notify the coordinate and bin status to the database. Here GSM is user to communicate with the server, which will contain the SIM with the basic speed internet. The ultrasonic sensor which uses ultrasonic waves will check the bin status. The PIC controller board is used to control ultrasonic sensor, GSM and GPS. The server will maintain the details of the unfilled bins, filled bins and authority registration. Whenever the normal user or authorised bin collect or request from the database the information will be given to them. The information to the normal user is about the nearest unfilled bin and authorised person will be given the coordinated of the filled bins. The user end will contain the android app which works on android compatible phone. There will be two separate buttons for user and authority. The user will notify the unfilled nearest bin with path and authorised person will be notified by the filled bins with path. The working is as follows,User inserts trash into the bin,Bin checks for threshold level,Bin sends the status and coordinates to the Control centre on reaching the appropriate level,Control centre uses the coordinates sent by multiple Bins and provides an optimal path to the garbage vehicle, The bin if emptied by the vehicle, a notification is sent by it to Control centre.

Benefits of the Project

Following are the benefits or advantages of Smart Waste Management:

• It saves time and money by using smart waste collection bins and systems equipped with fill level sensors. As smart transport vehicles go only to the filled containers or bins. It reduces infrastructure, operating and maintenance costs by upto 30%.
• It decreases traffic flow and consecutively noise due to less air pollution as result of less waste collection vehicles on the roads. This has become possible due to two way communication between smart dustbins and service operators.
• It keeps our surroundings clean and green and free from bad odour of wastes, emphasizes on healthy environment and keep cities more beautiful.
• It further reduces manpower requirements to handle the garbage collection process.
• Applying smart waste management process to the city optimizes management, resources and costs which makes it a "smart city".
• It helps administration to generate extra revenue by advertisements on smart devices.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Smart Trash System (STS) with Smart Monitoring and Controlling Hut (SMCH) will be the final deliverable of the project resulting a smart technology for waste system avoiding human intervention and reducing human time and effort.
