Smart waste collection

The waste collection routes will be optimized by means of a special application. Due to the sensors located directly in the waste containers, which will be linked on-line with the application, the application can intelligently plan the collection route.

Functions

• Optimal waste collection from large-volume containers, primarily underground
• Fire and clogging detection

Benefits

• Reduction in waste collection costs
• Reduced environmental impact
• Improved road accessibility
• Collection of data for further processing and public space optimization

Project

As part of a twelve month pilot project, 420 sensors will be installed into waste containers (e.g. glass, plastics and other types of recyclable waste). The real technology benefits will be subsequently evaluated and a decision will be made on whether to expand or modify the project.

Scope

420 waste containers with sensors
