Smart waste bin with real-time monitoring system

Abstract

This paper presents IoT innovation project of a smart waste bin with real time monitoring system which integrates multiple technolo-gies such as solar system, sensors and wireless communication technologies. The aim of this project is to provide an efficient and cost-effective waste collection management system hence providing clean, healthy and green environment. This study proposed a new framework that enables remote monitoring of solid waste bin in real-time via Wi-Fi connection, to assist the waste management activity. The system framework is based on wireless sensor network [WSN] contains three segments: renewable energy source, WSN and control station. Within this framework there are four developed subsystems: solar power system, smart waste bin, short messag-ing service [SMS] notification system and real-time monitoring system that are interrelated to each other to perform as an efficient, cost-effective waste management system that yield to a green and healthy living environment.
