Cloud Based Smart Dustbin System for Metro Station

摘要

RFID based Smart Dustbin System is a prototype model of next generation dustbin which would be highly equipped with sensors. This model mainly focuses on the security aspects. Some of bomb blasts during 2008 Serial blasts in Delhi were placed in dustbins. After the blasts dustbins were removed from all the metro stations in Delhi. This is because dustbins are an easy way to put the explosives. In this paper we present a viable solution for dustbins at metro stations. We have built this prototype model of this smart dustbin system using RFID tags, RFID reader, Ultrasonic sensor, geared motors, servo motors, Arduino UNO, raspberry-pi and solar panel for power supply. The system uses cloud based monitoring system for garbage monitoring. With the use of cloud based system there is no need of routine checking of dustbins. To make the system ecofriendly and preserve carbon neutral footprint of metro we are using miniature solar panel for power supply.
