Automatized Satellite based Urban waste monitoring and management
Urban waste management is a critical challenge faced by cities worldwide, impacting public health, environmental sustainability, and overall quality of life. Ineffective monitoring of waste accumulation at landfills and key urban points can lead to serious consequences, including overflow, potential leaks into water bodies, and increased fire hazards. Current monitoring methods often lack real-time capabilities and comprehensive coverage, resulting in delayed responses to emerging issues.
The goal is to develop an integrated system utilizing satellite imagery and CCTV technology to monitor waste accumulation in urban areas, specifically focusing on landfills and major waste hotspots. This system must:
Employ satellite data and CCTV feeds to continuously monitor waste levels, providing real-time insights into accumulation patterns at designated sites.
Establish threshold levels for waste accumulation that trigger alerts when exceeded, ensuring proactive intervention by local authorities.
Detect potential environmental hazards, such as leaks into nearby water bodies or conditions conducive to fires, by analyzing waste composition and environmental factors.
Facilitate timely alerts to local bodies for immediate action, thereby reducing the risk of health hazards and environmental damage.
Incorporate data analytics to generate actionable insights and trends over time, supporting improved waste management strategies and urban planning.
By addressing these challenges, the proposed system will enhance waste management efficiency, protect public health, and safeguard the environment, ultimately contributing to more sustainable urban living.
