Abstracts: GSM systems are used currently for emergency calling and facsimile. They also find applications in computer to computer communication and emergency calling. The RF ID (Radio Frequency identification) on the other hand is an upcoming method of tracking moving or stationary items. The idea of the project is to combine their applications and use them together in monitoring and tracking the trash collecting vans and continuously display its status at the control room. The system introduced here will track the trash vans circling the city through there predetermined routes. This is done with the help of RF ID Module placed in the van to determine the position of the van on its route. The co-ordinates of the position will be sent to the control room with the help of GSM MODULE. The control room will receive LIVE notification regarding the exact position of the trash van at a given time. Also there will be IR photo sensors and ultrasonic in the van container to determine the amount of trash collected successfully.
