Smart Trashcan
Our idea will change garbage collection much more efficient than today. We will introduce sensors and microcontrollers to trashcans that allow garbage collection companies to know, when trashcan is full. First goal is to use smart trashcans in public city space, where garbage creation is more-or-less random process and regular interval for trash bin emptying might not be most optimal one. Afterwards similar solution could be offered to companies and larger households.
In addition software needs to be created that would calculate most optimal route for emptying trash cans. The solution would allow consumer to save more money and garbage collection company to maximize revenue by minimizing number of empty rides.
