Con le nuove tecnologie emergenti nello sviluppo per l'IoT, i contenitori intelligenti stanno diventando un bisogno per il settore della gestione dei rifiuti. Essere in grado di controllare lo stato dei contenitori per garantire un ambiente piu pulito, nonche migliorare il processo di raccolta dei rifiuti e'un must. Per le persone che lavorano nel raccoglimento dei rifiuti, sarebbe molto utile sapere dove dovrebbero andare a ritirarlo ed evitare di perdere tempo quando non c'e bisogno di raccoglierlo. Anche conoscere il peso sarebbe utile e sapere se sará necessario qualche persona aggiuntiva per eseguire l'operazione. L'implementazione di questo sistema puó migliorare la qualitá della vita, ma, creare molti contenitori per dimostrare l'efficacia del sistema, cosí come la fattibilita, é costoso ed é anche difficile, soprattutto per i gruppi di ricerca,che non possono crearli in massa. Per risolvere questo problema, in questo progetto, viene presentato un sistema di simulatore di contenitori intelligenti. Questo simulatore consente di generare dati per il peso e la dimensione della spazzatura nei cassonetti, oltre a fornire loro una posizione nello spazio e verificarne il comportamento in base alla loro posizione. Allo stesso modo, adotta un programma per la raccolta dei rifiuti e tiene anche conto dei tempi in cui i contenitori non vengono utilizzati, per offrire loro prestazioni piu realistiche. La visualizzazione e la registrazione dei dati vengono anche visualizzate utilizzando Node-RED, uno strumento di programmazione basato sul usso dei dati, attraverso il quale le informazioni vengono ricevute da un broker e quindi visualizzate in un dashboard, in modo che l'analisi del comportamento dei contenitori possa essere facilmente eseguita.

Abstract
With the new technologies emerging in development for IoT, smart bins are becoming a need for waste management field. Be able to control the status of containers to guarantee a cleaner environment, as well as improve waste collection process is a must. For people working in waste recollection, it would be very useful to know where they should go to collect it and avoid wasting time when there is no need to pick it up. Also knowing the weight would be useful to know if some additional person will be needed to perform the task. Implementation of this system may improve quality of life, but creating a lot of bins to prove the effectivity of the system, as well as feasibility, is expensive and it is also difficult, especially for researching groups, which cannot create them in mass. To solve this issue, in this project, a smart bin simulator system is presented. This simulator allows to generate data for weight and size of garbage into the bins, as well as providing them a position in the space and verify its behavior according to their location. Likewise, it adopts an schedule for picking up waste, and also takes into account the times in which bins are not used, to give them a more realistic performance. Visualization and recording of data is also displayed by using Node-RED, which is a flow based programming tool through which information is received from a broker and then shown in a dashboard, so that analysis of the bins behavior can be easily done.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
