GSM and GPS based solid waste mangement for smart cities

Abstract

Smart city has various annotations such as intelligent city, clean city, digital city, green city and many more. This conceptual project aims at developing a device & portal for solid waste processing unit which needs the classified information regarding solid waste and the portal also enables the waste processing unit to collaborate with other satellite units and waste collectors for efficient and faster actions. Today, waste management from its inception to its disposal is one of the important challenges for the municipal corporations in all over the world. Dust bins placed across cities set at open places are flooding because of increment in the waste each day and making unhygienic condition for the citizens, to maintain a strategic distance from such a circumstance we have proposed wireless solid waste management system for smart cities which allows municipal corporations to monitor status of dustbins remotely over web server and keep cities clean very efficiently by optimizing cost and time required for it [4]. As soon as dustbin has reached its maximum level, waste management department gets alert via SMS along with location via GSM & GPS module placed at dustbin so department can send waste collector vehicle to respective location to collect garbage. The objective of the project is to enhance practicality of IoT based solid waste collection and management system for smart city.
