IoT-based Intelligent Waste Bin

The amount of the waste humans discards is rapidly increasing and will not be controlled without transformational changes. Waste management companies will be hugely impacted with such increments as they should provide resources for the collection of such waste with minimum or even zero income. This project aims to develop smart real-time waste management and monitoring system that optimized the resources and maximized the efficiency. The system is designed based on three main elements; Master station, Slave station, and Internet of things (IoT) platform. The master pin station gathers the data from the slave stations and transmits it to the IoT application for remote management and monitoring purposes. The system is powered up by using solar panels. Four parameters are used for monitoring and managing the waste: temperature value, level in percentage reading, smoke detection, and the global positioning system (GPS) location. The development phase of the system is designed into two phases; system modeling and hardware implementation. This paper present the modeling phase of the system development.
