Effective and Efficient Smart Waste Management System for the Smart Cities Using Internet of Things (IoT): An Indian Perspective

Abstract

Many cities in India are being expanded as smart cities. In such a way, Waste management is also a big challenge in India. Researchers are continuously working on this problem in so many ways. But, the revolution of Internet of Things will play an important role as well as give way to develop an effective and efficient Smart Waste management system for the upcoming smart cities in India. The following factors are causing the problem: growth of population density and existing congested infrastructure. This paper reviews the waste management system proposed by the researchers in the past for different smart cities and then proposes an Effective and efficient smart waste management system. The proposed model developed in this paper is with respect to the Indian infrastructure and complete integration of the different stakeholders of the Waste Management System such as Smart bins, Sensors, Source areas, and Vehicles. The proposed system is efficient and effective because the system works dynamically with respect to Smart bins, collection vehicle, and routes.
