IOT Based Garbage Monitoring System Using Raspberry Pi

The Internet of Things (IOT), as expected infrastructure for the envisioned concept of Smart City, brings new possibilities for the city management. IOT vision introduces promising and economical solutions for massive data collection and its analysis which can be applied in many domains and so make them operate more efficiently. Normally there is one of the most challenging issues - municipal waste-collection within the Smart City. To optimize the logistic procedure of waste collection. The presented solution provides a calculation of more efficient garbage-truck routes. As an output, we provide a set of simulations focused on the mentioned area. If the dustbin fills we get some alert via the Buzzer also send the SMS to an authorized person in a particular time they didn’t response we will intimate to the higher authorized persons.

The Smart City represents nowadays hot topic in terms of improving living conditions. Considering mainly the situation in European Union, the EU national governments and also private companies are investing every year a significant amount of their budgets to research, development, and implementation of the concept of Smart City. The Internet of Things (IoT) is currently considered as a basic communication infrastructure for smart cities, where machines communicate automatically between each other. The biggest advantage is the cooperation of many different communication technologies and devices within one functional system, where a big amount of information and data are shared and used in a secure and smart way.
