A real-time smart dumpsters monitoring and garbage collection system using IoT

Abstract

In most of the cities the overflowed garbage dumpsters are creating an obnoxious smell and making an unhygienic environment. The Collection of garbage is a very much needed municipal service that requires huge expenditures and execution of this operation is high-priced. The high pricing is due to the various factors such as man power, navigation of vehicles, fuel, maintenances and environmental costs. The above factor necessitates the design, implementation and execution of the new Smart Intelligent Garbage Alert System (SIGAS) for the smart cities. This paper focuses on the implementation of an IoT based embedded system which integrates various Sensors & controllers with RF transmitter and receiver for dumpster and vehicle monitoring system with their performance measured in real time environment.
