A smart city application: A waste collection system with long range wide area network for providing green environment and cost effective and low power consumption solutions

The trend towards cities and urbanisation, which increases the number of people living in urban areas, requires local authorities to provide services natural resources more efficiently effectively develop some strategies for a sustainable environment. effective use resources, growing awareness environment, climate confidence motivation make livable is new concept called Smart City. In this study, proposed system supports garbage collection city government works with low budget, energy, free radio frequencies. Internet Things (IoT) sensor node assembled, network set up based on long range wide area protocol connect it sample bin collect data. Instant data by carried out through IoT designed collected goal build an ideal smart support sustainability integrating government's information systems. received from nodes efficiency were demonstrated governments. main outcome research practical application minimal governments their daily work. Moreover, how power communication frequency 868 MHz Istanbul (Turkey) will be investigated further alternative cellular networks most suitable excellent studied.
