Integration of Technology in Collection and Transportation, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh

About the Project:

JMC needed a way for refining the solid waste management services in Jabalpur city. For meeting this objective, JMC established a collection and transportation system in the year 2016 through private sector participation. To manage, maintain and monitor the door to door collection of waste and holistic view of waste from source to end was one of the major challenges faced by the city. The city required a system which can track, help to locate and monitor the door to door collection with RFID tags, semi underground bin management with BLS and the jobs carried out by the department such as Vehicle Tracking and Monitoring System (VTMS) using GPS and dashboards was an important requirement. In Jabalpur, about 670MT of solid waste is generated from both household and commercial sources. The waste generation rate in the municipality is expected to increase by 15% by the year 2020. The total number of vehicles available in the city are 240 tippers, 20 hopper trucks, 14 waste compactors, 4 cranes mounted waste transfer vehicles and 6 static compacters.The collection and transportation of the waste in Jabalpur is undertaken through the following steps: STEP 1 RFID tags for door-todoor and community bins, to improve the customer experience

STEP 2 Bin Level Sensors (BLS) to increase the productivity

STEP 3 Weight collected waste at W2E plant to reduce the maintenance cost

STEP 4 Integration for VTMS, Weight monitoring and GIS

After the implementation of daily door to door garbage collection system in the morning hours, it has now become the practice of every citizen to store the household waste temporarily in dustbin till the door to door garbage collection vehicle arrives. This has made a good improvement in the overall scenario. A sense of good hygiene and awareness towards environment are visible. Door to door collection is adopted in the entire city, which has resulted in efficient collection of waste, reduction of littering, foul odour and unaesthetic appearance of bins.Tech Mahindra has been given the responsibility to integrate the information technology for improving the collection and transportation in the city at an estimated cost of Rs.6.94 crore. This has also helped in the monitoring of the system and rectifies the processes to reduce the operational cost. GPS has been deployed on vehicles that are involved in collection and transportation of waste and the real time movement is monitored through a centralized control room. Such GPS enabled mapping tracks the vehicular movement as per the designated hours of operation. Furthermore, these GPS systems enable the identification of vehicles that have broken down during operations and hence enable the routing of stand-by vehicles or closest collection vehicles. RFID readers are installed at every household which gives information as to whether solid waste has been collected on time or not. 250 RFID readers have been deployed at various locations in the city. The monitoring system is being used in conjunction with Vehicle Tracking and Monitoring System (VTMS) solutions; this has resulted in ensuring complete coverage of door-to-door and community collection, management of refuse picking routes for SWM and monitoring and tracking the refuse weight by the refuse vehicle along the route; integration of refuse transfer station facilities with the centralized monitoring facility etc.
