Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) provides a technological foundation for the development of smart cities. The technology has yielded novel possibilities for urban governance. The IoT offers a practical and cost-effective means of gathering vast quantities of data, which can be applied across a range of industries with the aim of increasing production. One of the most pressing challenges currently facing the development of smart cities is the issue of waste collection beyond the municipal corporation. The IoT has the potential to streamline the waste collection process across a smart city. The proposed model is designed to facilitate more efficient location determination of smart dustbins through the use of IoT enabling technologies. The primary objective of the proposed models is to monitor the status of the smart dustbin. The smart dustbins are equipped with a GPS module, a GSM module, ultrasonic sensors, and a Liquid-Crystal Display (LCD). The primary function of the proposed model is to ascertain whether the smart dustbin is full, medium, or empty. In the event that the smart dustbin is full, the GPS location and status of the smart dustbin are automatically transmitted via SMS by GSM module. This SMS is sent to the relevant authorities of the Municipal Corporation, who are then responsible for collecting the waste from the smart dustbin. The SMS contains longitude and latitude values, which are used to identify the correct route map for the smart dustbins. Ultimately, the city can be transformed into a smart city by using IoT-enabled smart dustbins.
