LPU students develop vehicle controller for automatic waste collection that can track dustbin locations without internet

Student researchers of LPU have developed a vehicle controller for automatic waste collection with offline geo-mapping that can monitor dustbin locations and garbage levels even without the internet.

A team of student researchers from Lovely Professional University (LPU) has developed a vehicle controller for automatic waste collection in a controlled environment such as universities, government organisations and public places. The vehicle controller is equipped with a geo-mapping feature capable of mapping the location of the bins and also monitoring the garbage levels of the bins to prevent waste overflow. The entire system will cost approx. Rs. 30,000 when ready for production (costs can depending upon the size of the premises and controllers needed).
