Waste Management: Waste management is a primary issue in
many modern cities, due to both the cost of the service and the
problem of the storage of garbage in landfills. A deeper penetration
of ICT solutions in this domain, however, may result in
significant savings and economical and ecological advantages.
For instance, the use of intelligent waste containers, which detect
the level of load and allow for an optimization of the collector
trucks route, can reduce the cost of waste collection and improve
the quality of recycling [12].3 To realize such a smart waste
management service, the IoT shall connect the end devices, i.e.,
intelligent waste containers, to a control center where an optimization
software processes the data and determines the optimal
management of the collector truck fleet.
