WEEK 13 (Our Project)

Here is the video of our project.

Since this project is important to monitor the waste management system, there is some recommendations to improve this project are here by proposed. Some of the suggestions for future development are listed as below :

1.      Use RFID as tracking device.

RFID is the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to the dustbin. This will prevent the dustbin from getting stolen and able to track the dustbin if it is being move to somewhere else.

2.      Place a LED advertisement board

It can help the waste management service provider to generate income by offering an advertisement such as nearest hotel promotion that can be display and seen by the visitor and tourist.

3.      Use WIFI instead of GSM

By using WIFI, it can helps to reduce cost for credit top up and maintenance. By using WIFI, it can provide smartphone applications that can be access by public. By downloading the application, maybe the public can give feedback, rating and recommendation that will benefit the waste management service provider to increase their effectiveness.

WEEK 12 (Report Preparation)

This week, we worked on the final report. We did chapter 1 and 2. We also summarized what we did on both chapters. Chapter 1 is where we cover the introduction, while chapter 2 we cover the literature review. However, we had a little problem with chapter 2. It was because there was no previous project of smart dustbin at our university. So what we did was we reviewed the smart dustbin on the internet, and also we made the literature review on GSM modem.
