Intelligent real-time waste management system supported with removal, recycling, monitoring, tracking capabilities

Comment

Inspiration

Muslims come from all round of the world to perform Hajj. As a person who lived abroad for a while I know difficult it feels when I travel somewhere and wish if everything goes smoothly during my travel. With this and the 2030 Saudi vision, we would love to provide technologies that improve pilgrims experience and comfort. Waste can have a disaster impact to both pilgrims, environment and Saudi’s economy.

What it does

Waste management system that have the feature of applying a IoT technology which • Real-time map for the entire field with trash can positions and status. • Provide two types of trash cans regular and recyclable cans. • Localize trash cans and have a feature of determining if the trash is full or not and alert the assigned employee to come and empty the trash can. • Send real-time status of trash can fullness indicators and monitoring which is feed and saved in the database. • In case of random trashes thrown in the field, the system allows supervisors to send request to the field employee in order to request immediate trash removal. • Request trash pickup trucks to come and pickup trashes and provide an efficient routing path for the truck to pick up the trashes with minimum cost (money and time). • Provide real-time statistics which allow stack holders and management to monitor the field and identify flaws, errors and mistakes.

we considered two types of recycle cans which are recycle and regular trashes. Each trash is supported with sensors that indicate the wait and fullness of the trash. All trash can status are feed to a log database which enable management and authorities to monitor and have real-time statistics for current and future use. If the trash is full then indicator in the field employee band will alert him with the trash number and location so he can come and empty it. Also, in case of trashes which are thrown in the field and not in the assigned place which can be found by the supervisor, he can call the field employee through the app, this will trigger an alert in the employees band with the location address and the type of trash (regular trash, hazard or liquid).

How we built it

We have 4 Parts: 1- Management ( Back-End) Control. 2- Band. 3- Sensor. 4- Mobile Application.

Management (Back-End) Control:

  • Design database (Microsoft SQL-Servers Azure).
  • WebApplication on MVC5 ASP.NET (Follow the DDD Best Practice) Sensor: By using RassberyBi chips. Mobile Application: Using CrossPlatform environment IONIC Latest Version

Challenges we ran into

Limitation of statistical data of the localization of trash cans and field employees. Also, the problem is so broad so we had to consider the range.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re proud to provide a solution that can help to save and improve the environment. Also, improve pilgrims experience and comfort. in addition, we're so proud to have a feature that allow the Saudi management and authority to monitor the waste in the field, provide statistics for current and future use.

What we learned

We were lucky to learn from others experience and share knowledge. This was a real great opportunity to meet experts and have a life feedback. one of the exciting challenges was exchanging talks with participants inorder to make a team. this really help to improve self confidence, communications and rapid project management skills.

What's next for N019 Smart Waste Management System

Build all hardware and Launch the system life. As well as, extending the project to manage waste comes from scarified animal residual.
