An Integrated IoT and Edge-AI Framework for Real-Time Smart-City Waste Monitoring, Classification, and Collection-Route Optimization
Urban waste collection still runs on fixed schedules that ignore how full bins actually are, so trucks arrive at empty bins (wasting fuel) and miss full ones (causing overflow, odour, and health risk). This paper presents an integrated IoT and edge-AI framework that closes that loop. Each smart bin pairs an ultrasonic...
