Waste-bin fill monitoring to optimise collection routes

MOB-06 · Original hackathon problem statement from Arventiq Labs

The problem

Collection trucks follow fixed routes, visiting empty bins while others overflow.

What to build

Create a sensor and routing prototype that reports fill levels and plans efficient collection routes for the day.

Success looks like

Fewer kilometres driven for the same bins in a simulation and alerts for overflow before it happens.

Suggested technologies

  • Ultrasonic sensors
  • LoRaWAN
  • Vehicle routing
  • Dashboards
  • Low-power design
