dc.description.abstract | Irregular disposal and collection of
wastage is a huge problem in cities. Due to rapid
population growth and manipulation of
urbanization, huge garbage emissions and
environmental pollution may occur. It is effective
and important to manage waste collection to get
rid of the issues related to inefficient process of
collections, irregular removal of garbage trash
bins, overflowing bins and to prevent health
issues. Another major challenge for daily life is
the current pandemic situation that we have
been facing with COVID-19. Therefore, during
this pandemic, it is very important to carry out
the garbage disposal and collection process in a
well-safe and efficient manner at the right time,
to minimize contact with outsiders and it will be
immensely useful in preventing and controlling
the spread of this epidemic. Without proper
waste disposal, a home is vulnerable to the
spread of disease. This research work plans to
develop an optimum waste collection application
for truck drivers and citizens. The system will
facilitate truck drivers to find the shortest path
for the only fullest bin by using route
optimization. Arduino and ultrasonic sensors
have been used to create the smart bins by
facilitating relevant sensor data and Google map
API for tracking the location in the proposed
application. Mainly Firebase for backend
resources to the device, including data storage,
user authentication, static hosting has been used,
while Flutter has been used as the mobile
application development platform. As per the
studies and analysis of the related technologies
and platforms, the Flutter is used to develop
cross-platform applications for Android, iOS,
Linux, Mac, Windows operating systems. The
proposed work provides an accurate, convenient,
user-friendly Android mobile application as the
final research output. | en_US |
