Abstract:
Cleanliness and recycling is a crucial matter for
modern cities. As there is an obvious and increasing need to
preserve valuable resources and reduce waste and pollution,
research is vivid in this area. In this paper, we present our
innovative project, the Smartbin, which is using state of the art
approaches of Internet of Things (Iot) and waste classification.
The design of the system permits the low-cost manufacturing
of the final product, while uses state of the art technologies
such as neural networks and the LoRaWAN protocol. We have
implemented environmental friendly and low-cost Smart Bin
prototypes, where the users can monitor each bin and be notified
for incidents requiring their attention. The system also remotely
transmits valuable data to the corresponding authorities, which
can improve their effectiveness in waste management.
