Intelligent Refuse Collection Planning – Using Data to Automate the Logistics for Waste Removal in City Parks.

One of the challenges of the City of Windsor is that there is no clear indication on the fullness of the public garbage bins resulting in unwanted consumption of resources (vehicle trips, labor work, fuel costs, etc.). This project will focus on developing an environmental and economical software solution which involves adding sensors to the bins and gathering enough information so that It can be deployed in the form of a dashboard to monitor the status of the bins and help in the efficient allocation of resources. With the rising cost of using carbon-based operations, this project will not only provide a way to save money today but well into the future for the City of Windsor.
