Waste Collection Fleet Management System

Overview

Description

Waste management systems are transforming from manual methods to automated, data-driven solutions. These systems often encounter inefficiencies in route planning, collection frequency, and inaccurate garbage bin capacity estimates, leading to unnecessary trips, fuel overuse, and suboptimal routes, which increase operational costs and environmental impacts.

This waste management system addresses these issues by integrating weight measurement, accurate garbage bin monitoring, and intelligent route planning into waste collection vehicles. By measuring the weight of garbage cans and combining it with geographical location data, the system optimizes routes for more efficient collection. Precise weight measurement is achieved through an analog-to-digital (ADC) converter integrated into the 32-bit MCU. A low-cost TFT instrument cluster provides real-time vehicle and route status, while non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) and SD cards support mass data storage and backup.

System Benefits:

  • Comprehensive dashboard for integrated waste management enables real-time data monitoring and analytics for operators.
  • Optimized route planning based on the weight and location of garbage cans increases operational efficiency by minimizing fuel consumption and maximizing vehicle utilization.
  • Integration with a low-cost TFT instrument cluster, evaluation kit, and digital load cell reference design reduces development costs and time to market by providing ready-to-use hardware and software.
  • NVRAM and SD cards ensure reliable data storage and backup.
  • High precision weight measurement provided by a 24-bit sigma-delta ADC integrated into the Arm® Cortex®-M23 MCU allows for accurate monitoring of garbage bins.
