Inspiration
To provide a clean environment and experience for the pilgrims.
What it does
The large number of pilgrims means a great chance of larger amount of trash left behind which is usually caused by either a lack of proper waste disposal facilities or the large amount of trash overwhelming the facilities provided. Our system can monitor trash bins and dispatch garbage trucks accordingly through planned routes to save costs and can also detects key locations where the amount of waste (total or by waste type) is larger then adjacent locations.
How we built it
We started by checking the google maps api and playing around with the pins script in order to see if we can use the actual pins as waste bins and change its color depending on a certain criteria (which is the limit amount in the bin sent by the sensor inside it). We then started by creating the project in html and javascipt using static values to test the UI. We then started our work in Visual studio ASP.Net where we started by creating the tables for the system then converting the html and javascipt in the test pages to asp and controlling the events from C#. Finally we added the Bootstrap UI to the main pages.
Challenges we ran into
- Learning about google maps apis and integrating it in the system.
- Not having an actual sensor to test our system on which forced us to create an external page as a simulator to test and demonstrate it.
