A Smart Waste Management System Based on LoRaWAN

Abstract:

Smart waste management is one of the most important services in smart cities. An efficient waste collection system based on IoT technologies allows having the streets clean and reducing resource consumption by optimizing garbage collecting trucks’ routes. In this situation, the present work proposes a smart management system based on LoRaWAN. This solution seeks to mitigate the presence of containers that are at their maximum storage capacity. This solution will contribute to mitigate the spread of diseases due to it avoids having waste in the open air. Different tests of the proposed solution (i.e. communication distance, speed, and energy consumption) were performed to determinate the possibility of real implementations.
