Smart Waste Information Management Model

Abstract

Environmental waste is the end product of human existence within his environment. The purpose of the study was to design a Smart waste information management Model (SWIMM). It explored web-based technology, and garbage truck weighing mechanisms. They help waste management agents in monitoring location of waste in the environment. The method explored in the study was the rapid application development Model because it is reliable and reusable software art. The study developed mechanism that reports waste disposal within homes; integrated waste disposal mechanism into the database for effective information processing; implemented the integrated waste disposal mechanism using Hyper pre-processor (PHP) programming language linking it up with Microsoft Structured Query Language (MySQL) in Xamp and Javascript.; tested the integrated waste disposal Model by testing the phase integrated with the software application with the external computer peripherals devices in order to check how components interact with one another and with the Model as a whole; End to End scenario testing. When deployed, the Model enables the reporting of waste information through connected sensors embedded camera display system with which waste handlers can assess the level of waste at dump sites. The web-based Model stores the history of the driver and various records related to waste. It uses the image processing system to measure the waste index of a particular dumping site. The waste index is calibrated as low, medium, or high. A dumper truck database is generated in the system so that data and details of dumper truck ID, meeting date, meeting time of garbage collection, and so on are collected.
