Smart City Waste Management through ICT and IoT driven Solution
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF APPLIED ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT LETTERS (IJAEML) - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose: The growing population and mass relocation of citizens from urban and semi-urban areas to Smart Cities have resulted in exponential growth in Smart Cities and thereby certain challenges. One of the major challenges Smart Cities are facing is to control, manage and process waste generation on a daily basis. Waste collection and processing at a wider scale is not an easy job. The growing population and resource constraints in waste management activities are the primary reasons, which have made waste management a tough job. To deal with this challenging process, Smart Cities use Smart Waste Management System. This paper has provided an overview of a typical Smart Waste Management system and a review of selected research papers on Smart Waste Management. We tried to identify areas of improvement with existing Smart Waste Management Solutions and proposed an innovative solution called "iSmartWMS" for carrying out waste management specifically for Smart Cities. The paper has discussed in detail the architecture and building blocks of the proposed Smart Waste Management System, along with the details of software tools, sensors, and technologies proposed in iSmartWMS. The Paper has finally discussed results with respect to the prototype implementation of iSmartWMS and also future plans to further improve the iSmartWMS smart waste management system. Design/Methodology/Approach: iSmartWMS software prototype was built using IoT sensors and Cloud based Server running with custom software incorporating specialized algorithms and a graphical user interface. A model was simulated on a local machine network to check if the required goals can be met and if the proposed solution serves the purpose. Findings/Result: The proof of concept prototype for iSmartWMS Solution is found working well at a limited scale. It is clear that the solution can very well serve the purpose of waste management if it is implemented as per specified architecture at wider scale considering the large number of stakeholders. Originality/Value: Using IoT Sensors for waste monitoring and through Cloud based Server software running with specialized algorithms, it is possible to automate waste management end to end activities. This paper has described in detail the proposed iSmartWMS software solution as a Smart Waste Management tool for Smart Cities. Paper Type: Prototype and Simulation based Research
