Improving Efficiency of Garbage Collection Vehicle for Smart Cities

As the population of our country skyrockets, the consumption of goods has also increased exponentially, we tend to face a chunk of problems thanks to all that. A problem that stands out of this is the generation of enormous waste as the byproduct of this increased consumption. To tackle this inevitable problem of waste management, the government has taken several steps in the right direction under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan scheme to create a clean, hygienic, and healthy country. One of the services that have been started is the daily collection of garbage from every house. The availability of a garbage collection vehicle was aimed at solving the problem of segregation of wet and dry garbage, as well as biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste, and also help make the surroundings clean and hygienic. However, the benefits came with a lot of shortcomings. The timing of the collection vehicle remains uncertain. Causing a situation of hurry and sometimes leading to people missing the vehicle. Also, the way people get notified that the collection vehicle has arrived is by the loud music that is played. The audio is so loud that it becomes irritating so often. This is a cause of concern for places near schools, and hospitals and also for doing work from home. To overcome these challenges, we tend to make a Mobile Application addressing the above-mentioned issues. In this system, we are providing users as well as the drivers with an app that will help them provide advance notification.
