Smart Waste Management System for Makkah City using Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things

Summary

A research paper proposes a smart waste management system called TUHR for Makkah, Saudi Arabia, leveraging IoT and AI to handle waste accumulation during the annual pilgrimage. The system uses ultrasonic sensors to monitor waste levels and gas detectors to identify harmful substances, alerting authorities when containers are full or hazards are detected. The proposed system aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 by promoting sustainability and improving public health through optimized waste management.
