Abstract—Rapid increase in population, has led to improper
waste management in metropolitan cities resulting in increased
pests and spreading of diseases. An efficient method to dispose
this waste has been designed with Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSN) using VANETs. IEEE 802.11p has been adopted and
multicast routing has been proposed to be implemented in
Garbage Collecting Vehicle’s (GCV) On Board Units (OBU) for
effective communication. Road Side Units (RSU) and sensors
have been made use of in the response system. Filling up of
multiple bins at the same time and usage of reserve GCVs has
been considered. The prototype VANET based efficient garbage
disposal system is induced in a metropolitan city environment
and has been simulated in NS2and the results are encouraging
for implementation.
Index Terms—Garbage collecting vehicle (GCV), road side
unit (RSU), vehicular Ad-Hoc network (VANET), wireless
access in vehicular environment (WAVE).
