Architecture for Waste Management in Indian Smart Cities (AWMINS)

Smart cities require smart and effective solutions to tackle the problems faced by them. Traffic, Surveillance, Security, Medical, Transportation and other basic services need to be managed by the city administrators efficiently. Waste Management is one of issue faced by almost all countries around the globe. The Waste generation is a continuous process and is harming biodiversity and ecology is many ways. Many countries are trying to mitigate the harm by developing strategies using technology. Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the prominent solutions that can effectively and efficiently help in dealing with waste management. Indias waste management system will become more effective by incorporation of IoT in waste management architecture. In this paper, Architecture for Waste Management in Indian Smart Cities (AWMINS) has been proposed. This uses smart bins for garbage classification and collection. The smart bins are fitted with sensors and other necessary hardware equipment. These are then integrated with the IoT environment for efficient waste management thereby reducing the wastage of the citys resources.
