Abstract
A COMPLETE INTEGRATION OF WASTE COLLECTING SYSTEMS INTO SMART CITY INFRASTRUCTURES IS MANDATORY FOR A CITY TO BECOME TRULY ”SMART”. BY USING A SMART WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, COMPANIES, AUTHORITIES AND POPULATION CAN MONITOR AND MANAGE THE WASTE FLOWS IN THEIR CITY. IN THIS PAPER, SOME PRELIMINARY RESEARCH RESULTS REGARDING A SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION FOR INTEGRATING WASTE COLLECTING SYSTEMS INTO SMART CITY INFRASTRUCTURES ARE PRESENTED. TH E DEVELOPED PLATFORM CONSISTS IN A GPS/GPRS MODULE AND ULTRASONIC SENSORS CONNECTED TO A ARDUINO BOARD. THE SOFTWARE APPLICATION ALLOWS TO SEND SMS INFORMATION ON REQUEST, PROVIDING CONTAINERS FILL LEVEL AND GPS COORDINATES TO PROPER PLAN THE TRANSPORT OF CONTAINERS WITH WASTES FROM THE COLLECTING SYSTEM TO THE RECYCLING PLANTS.
