Mangrulkar Journal on Software Engineering 2230–7168 11 3 10 18 Automation, Internet of Things, Smart City, Waste Management The Internet of Things (IoT) is an internetworking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items- embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Civil habitation in the near future will move to large urban areas thus forming vast cities. These cities will incorporate IoT components in their backbone infrastructure, thus transforming into smart cities. One major component of smart cities is smart environment, a countermeasure for growing pollution. Waste management can be treated as a potential IoT service which exploits robustness and efficiency. IoT provides a novel solution for waste collection service. This paper presents one such solution. Smart bins are designed. These are incorporated with hardware containing microcontroller, sensor and GSM modem. The sensors will sense the level of bin filled and send its status to the server via GSM. At the server application, bin status along with its number and area will be displayed. The server will then notify ward member, driver or officer about bin status through a text message. Also an android application is developed for driver and officer to supervise their respective works and enable remote system handling. January - March 2017 Copyright © 2017 i-manager publications.
