IoT and ML based Smart System for Efficient Garbage Monitoring: Real Time AQI monitoring and Fire Detection for dump yards and Garbage Management System

There is always a significant amount of challenges associated with waste and its disposal, which can be essentially mitigated by the use of technology. As the urban population increases, the amount of waste disposal is also increasing at an unprecedented rate. The inappropriate disposal of this waste will lead to many hazards including the risk of fires in the dump yards that leverages poisonous smoke in the atmosphere by adversely affecting the safety of nearby residential areas. Monitoring the occurrence of fire in huge dumping grounds manually is a tough task and thus developing an automatic fire extinguishing system is highly required. The advanced technologies can be leveraged to ensure the protection and safety of people by eliminating such hazardous risks. The air quality index (AQI) is an indicator of daily air quality report that shows how air quality affects a person's life in a very short time. AQI plays a key role in ensuring the safety of residential areas. The proposed system aims to aid the possible hazardous risks associated with the dump yard and waste management.
