Modelling and Simulation of a Smart Dustbin Management System: Case Study of Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria.

The delay in the evacuation of waste from waste compartments by the waste management authorities at the Obafemi Awolowo University (O.A.U) campus has in most cases resulted in these compartments being overfilled and waste spillage around the waste compartment environment, leading to an eyesore, and unhealthy environment.O.A.U residents in their bid to keep their environments clean, sometimes resort to burning their waste instead of waiting on the waste management authorities for proper disposition.This practice brings about an unhealthy and unfriendly environment as it results in ozone layer depletion and other forms of harm to the climate from the carbon emitted from the burning of waste.To quell these problems, an effective and efficient waste collection system which gives a prompt notification when waste compartments are filled up would be modeled, simulated and implemented.The mobile application contains dashboards that works for different types of users; teams, collectors and a container for simulation and representation of the system.The system was tested with interactive mobile based application, and it is proved that it was effective to the public and the administrator.
