IOT Based Smart Waste Management System
AIM:
The aim of waste management system is to protect the environment and
for the health and the safety of the population.To Determine the toxicity
level and overflow of dustbin in the city.
Abstract:
For building smart cities there is requirement of such a smart system
which monitors the dustbin and provides its real time status. In present
scenario Municipal Corporations in India doesn’t get real time
information about the dustbins.In this concern, we are implementing a
system based on Internet of Things (IoT) that can send a message to
corporation about the overflow and toxicity level of the dustbins. A
website is also developed to supervise the data related to the dustbins.
Message is sent using GSM module to the mobile phone and data related
to the dustbin status is updated on the website. At this website citizens
can also submit complaints related to dustbin or waste management.In
recommended system, Arduino is used as a microcontroller to interface
between GSM/GPRS module with sensors. Ultrasonic sensor and gas
sensor are used for measurement of dustbin level and toxicity
respectively
INTRODUCTION
India is one of the most populated country in which one sixth
population of the world resides. As the population is high, a large
amount of waste are produced from houses and industries. Sometimes
waste is decomposed and produce unhygienic gases which pollute the
environment. A huge amount of waste is produced from smart
cities.Mumbai produce a huge waste amongst 46 other cities. It
generates 11,000 tons of waste per day . To manage this waste, dustbins
are placed in different areas of a city but mainly they overflows and
remains unattended. The municipal corporation doesn’t get real time
information about overflow of dustbins .We use dustbin to throw the
waste but still there are some problem. Such as Sometimes waste is
thrown outside the dustbin. It is not monitored. Harmful gases emerged
from dustbin but there is no record of it. Dustbin overflows and are not
cleaned timely. Generation of garbage can’t be stopped but we can
maintain and monitor it. It is necessary to manage the solid waste with
proper database. In India many of the streets are provided with dustbins.
People throw their waste in these dustbins and they are cleaned by
municipal corporation (MC). But sometimes dustbin overflows and are
not cleaned timely. A smart system should be used to get the real time
status of dustbin . We are surrounded by technology in different forms
so we should use it to get the real time monitoring of all the dustbins in
any particular area. When dustbin gets full a message should be sent to
the MC who is responsible to clean the dustbin. All the data of dustbin is
stored for future use.
Problem Statement:
In present scenario Municipal Corporations in India doesn’t get real time
information about the dustbins
Proposed System:
In this project we are using Internet of Thing (IoT) based technique
and GSM/GPRS technique for interfacing between transmitter and
receiver . Our proposed “IoT based smart waste management system:
India prospective” provide the real time status of dustbin. It measures
the percent filling of the dustbin and level of toxicity. It sends data to
website so it can be seen in future. It stores the time and date in the
database with percent filling and toxicity level of the dustbin. It sends
message to the concern person when dustbin is full or toxicity is high.
Our whole system is described in the fig. Arduino is connected with
ultrasonic sensor and Gas sensor that sends data through the GSM
module to the municipal corporation. The proposed system can also be
understood using flow chart in fig. Ultrasonic sensor senses the filling
level of dustbin Gas sensor measures the toxicity level of dustbin. Due
to presence of waste, dustbin produces hazardous gases which increases
toxicity of dustbin. If level is less than 10 cm or toxicity of gases is high
then message is sent to MC through GSM module.The data of dustbin is
also sent to the website after a fixed interval of dustbin so this
information remains store on the website.The information is saved with
date and time. If MC get to know about filling of dustbin then it will
send truck driver to clean it. In this way the dustbins are cleaned timely.
System Architecture:
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
Arduino UNO
Natural Methane Gas Sensor
Ultrasonic Sensor
Micro-controller
GSM/GPRS module SIM900A
Jumper wires
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
Operating system : Windows 7/10
Coding Language : Embedded C
Tool : Arduino
Conclusion:
This system is much helpful for citizens and Municipal Corporation to
manage waste and monitor the dustbin time to time. Smart system
provides the filling status of dustbin using message and it will save time,
fuel and money of Municipal Corporation. As there was a problem of
checking real time status of dustbin so it will be cleaned timely. So, in
this project this problem is solved and proper database is managed
online. In this way the municipal corporation shall work efficiently.
There is one complaint desk for the citizens where they can send their
complaint
