INTRODUCTION
Ineffectiveness of urban trash management
Significant effects on both the environment and the communities
Burden on waste management systems increases as cities continue
to expand and populations expand
Crucial that we investigate this problem in depth, recognize its
seriousness, and consider creative remedies.
Improve not only the quality of life for those who live in these cities but
also protect the environment.
CONSEQUENCES OF IMPROPER WASTE
MANAGEMENT ON HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT
Air Pollution
Environmental Degradation
Contaminated Water Sources
Economic Impact
Deteriorating Human Health
STAKEHOLDERS
Local Residents
Waste Management Agencies
Local Businesses
Municipal Authorities
The Environment
CAUSES OF
INEFFICIENT WASTE MANAGEMENT
Rapid Urbanization
Inedequate Infrastructure
Lack of Awareness
ROOT CAUSE: ABSENCE OF
TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN SYSTEM
Lack of coordination among stakeholders
Manual processes
Untapped technological solutions
TECHNOLOGIES
WE HAVE USED
INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)
Ultrasonic and capacitive sensors
Data is transmitted wirelessly to a central database
BIG DATA
Analyze historical and real-time data regarding
waste generation patterns, high-demand
areas, and optimal collection routes.
Cloud-based data storage.
Data visualization.
MACHINE LEARNING
Analyze data and identify trends and patterns, as well
as optimize waste collection routes.
Linear Regression and Random Forest Regression were used to predict
waste generation patterns
K-Means clustering was used to identify high-demand areas for route
optimization.
