Abstract
The growing population and mass relocation of citizens from urban and semi-urban areas to Smart Cities have resulted in exponential growth in Smart Cities and thereby certain challenges. One of the major challenges Smart Cities are facing is to control, manage and process waste generation on daily basis. Waste collection and processing at a wider scale is not an easy job. Growing population and resource constraints in waste management activities are the primary reasons which have made waste management a tough job. To deal with this challenging process, Smart Cities uses Smart Waste Management System. This paper has provided an overview of a typical Smart Waste Management system and a review of selected research papers on Smart Waste Management. We tried to identify areas of improvement with the existing Smart Waste Management Solutions and proposed an innovative solution called "iSmartWMS" for carrying out waste management specifically for Smart Cities. The paper has discussed in detail the architecture and building blocks of the proposed Smart Waste Management System, along with the details of software tools, sensors, and technologies proposed in iSmartWMS. The Paper has finally discussed results with respect to prototype implementation of iSmartWMS and also future plans to further improve the iSmartWMS smart waste management system.
Highlights
By 2050, it is estimated that around 714 million metric tonnes of waste will be generated alone in East Asia and the Pacific region [4]
We went through the existing Interviews of Subject Matter Experts, researchers and industry professionals working in Smart Waste Management
Due to limited test data and in absence of reallife waste material related data, full potential of iSmartWMS PoC could not be tested and it is difficult to judge the overall performance of iSmartWMS as a Smart Waste management system
Summary
Ever growing population causing a lot of issues and one of the biggest issues is increasing generated waste. Such waste can be food waste, material waste, waste from human beings, waste from useless stuff, waste from industries, etc. Such generated waste is hazardous for the overall environment if not managed systematically. This is the time to control and dispose of the generated waste as effectively as possible so that the possible hazardous impact on the environment and human being health can be effectively reduced.
