Smart Garbage Monitoring System with Dynamic Programming Model

The most significant issue in cities is garbage collection. The average amount of waste a person produces daily rises as the population grows, creating severe waste management issues. Any municipality's most pressing issues are bin status monitoring, locating the shortest route, and vehicle costs. The problem's consequences result in inadequate waste monitoring and management procedures. An effective garbage collection system that periodically measures the amount of garbage in the bins is used to solve these issues. The shortest route can be determined using this bin's status. The vehicle only went to the places where the bins in the city are full. The Wi-Fi module will transmit all of the information to the municipality. The main objective of the proposed work is to create a flexible application that dynamically solve the issue of late bin clearance, poor management of bins etc. The path selection is made by using the Travelling Salesman Algorithm in the Dynamic programming approach. The sensor network is utilized to gather information regarding the garbage contents in the bins and remotely trigger the request for a cleaning process using the Internet of Things. The internet is connected with microcontroller hardware using a Node-MCU device, or ESP8266, a small internet-supporting module that works as a plug-and-play module to any microcontroller. The primary objective of this system is to send information to the municipality and the mobile application regarding the status of the bin, the minimum cost path, the total travel distance, and the kind of vehicle required. This system aims to shorten travel time, save money on diesel and human resources for garbage collection, and improve waste collection and monitoring.
