Project subsidized by the CDTI and supported by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness with aid co-financed by ERDF funds through the “Smart Growth Operational Programme 2014-2020” and CDTI's own funds.

Project objective

SmartRSU is a platform that provides predictive information on the fill level of a specific container with a horizon of up to  7 days, based on historical garbage collection data and additional contextual information.

The challenge of the project is to minimize the cost of the deployed infrastructure, since only a small number of sensors are installed in the containers as a control reference, in contrast to other existing solutions that require sensing a large number of containers.

These predictions will then be used, along with applicable regulations, to determine which containers need to be emptied and which can be left for the next day without causing problems. The system also defines the optimal routes for collection trucks to empty the selected containers, reducing fuel consumption, working hours, and pollution.
