NFC-based waste management tracking and monitoring system

The integration of Near Field Communication (NFC) with web application and mobile application are used to build solid waste tracking and monitoring system. The main purpose of this system is to improve the efficiency of the waste collection process, provide real-time bin status for householder and also provide a communication platform for householder to send their feedback toward the services provided. The proposed system consists of an NFC tag attached to the trash bin, NFC-enabled mobile device, NFC integrated web and mobile application and database server. The NFC-enabled mobile device carry by worker collect the information from NFC tag and send to the server database via Wi-Fi. The database will be updated and the householders are able to check the current bin status via the mobile-based and web-based application. The trash bin information is displayed on Google Maps. Thereby, the solid waste of the trash bin and worker's job schedule are being monitored using NFC-based Waste Management Tracking and Monitoring System.
