Smart Bin Implementation for Smart City

Abstract

— In past few decades there is a rapid growth in the rate of urbanization and thus there is a need of sustainable urban development plans. Now using new age technology and strategic approach, the concept of smart cities is coming up all around the world. A smart city is incomplete without a smart waste management system. This paper describes the application of our model of " Smart Bin " in managing the waste collection system of an entire city. The network of sensors enabled smart bins connected through the cellular network generates a large amount of data, which is further analyzed and visualized at real time to gain insights about the status of waste around the city. This paper also aims at encouraging further research in the topic of waste management. 1 I NTRODUCTION s the world is in a stage of up gradation, there is one stinking problem [1] we have to deal with. Garbage! In our daily life, we see the pictures of garbage bins being overfull and all the garbage spills out. This leads to the num-ber of diseases as large number of insects and mosquitoes breed on it. A big challenge in the urban cities is solid waste management not only in India but for most of the countries in the world. Hence, such a system has to be build which can eradicate this problem or at least reduce it to the minimum level. The project gives us one of the most efficient ways to keep our environment clean and green. The smart city [2] concept is still new in India, although it has received a lot of attention in few years when our present prime minister gave the idea of building 100 smart cities throughout India. Now, with the upcoming large number of smart cities, large numbers of responsibilities are also required to be fulfilled. The prime need of a smart lifestyle begins with cleanliness and cleanliness begins with dustbin. A society will get its waste dispatched properly only if the dustbins are placed well and collected well. The main problem in the cur-rent waste management system in most of the Indian cities is the unhealthy status of dustbins. In this paper we have tried to upgrade the trivial but vital component of the urban waste management system, i.e. dustbin. Now with the rise of technology it is high time that we should use technology for waste management systems [2]. As we have seen that technology with analytics has made the world a better place to live by its application in the field of genetics, insurance, marketing, engineering, banking etc in past many years. So, in this paper we have integrated analytics and elec-tronics in order to create optimal changes in the conventional methodology of waste collection with the large amount of data that is being produced by the smart bin networks. The movement of waste across the whole city can be tracked and thus can be monitored by a single system efficiently and concretely. This system can prove to be a revolution for the whole urban waste management system of upcoming smart cities.
