Description
Summary:	Smart Waste Management (SWM) system is a waste management system that tracks the status of fill level of trash bins equipped with ultrasonic sensors and tracks GPS-equipped trash collection trucks. The problems identified are the overflowing trash bins especially in public areas with high population density and the complaints from the residents or public complaints regarding the punctuality of trash collection trucks. The objectives of the project are to design a Smart Waste Management (SWM) system based on Bootstrap platform, develop the system and test its functionality in fulfilling the requirements of the project. The methodological approach selected in this project is the waterfall methodology in which it comprises of four crucial phases: planning and analysis, system design, system implementation and system testing whereby each phase must be completed systematically prior to the commencement of subsequent phase. It is expected that the Smart Waste Management (SWM) system would be able to fulfill all of the project's objectives. This system is aimed to address the problems of overflowing trash bins and public complaints on trash collection trucks. The development of this system brings a huge significance in which operators would be able to know which trash bins require immediate collection and request for immediate dispatch by collection trucks. This method is seen to be more efficient compared to routine collection. Operators would also be able to track the relevant dispatch trucks through this convenient system.
