Smart City, Smart Garbage Bin

The problem Garbo-Smart solves

Our solution provides a real time monitoring of the garbage bins placed at various locations in the city.
Each garbage bin is equipped with a sensor module (ultrasonic) which continuously monitors the garbage level in the garbage bin. In our project, we have created an application which is prepared to receive the garbage level data from sensors and adds and updates the data to the database. Google map APIs use this data to provision and plot the bin locations on the map. The bin markers on the map changes color depending on the amount of garbage present in it(half filled,full filled and empty).Using this application ,we can also update the status of a particular garbage bin .

Challenges we ran into

The application is to be used after we have received the data from the sensors. The hardware part for this project is yet to be implemented. Also integrating Google Map API with MongoDB was a challenge but we overcame it by using fetch command.
