Final project for the subject of Autonomous Networks and Systems of the University of Aveiro.
This project aims to implement an autonomous waste management system, where garbage containers are monitored by sensors and the routes of the different garbage trucks are optimized in real-time by an algorithm, instead of being the same every day.
This allows garbage trucks to be more efficient and reduce the time spent on the road, as well as the fuel consumption and the CO2 emissions.
-
Internet connection for Mapbox Directions API calls
-
Python packages on

To start all docker containers of Vanetza, open a terminal window on the root of this project and run the following commands:
cd script
sudo docker-compose up --build
Do not close this terminal window.
To start the dashboard, open a new terminal and run the following commands:
cd dashboard
python3 main.py
Do not close this terminal window. The dashboard server should be running on http://localhost:8000/.
To start the OBU script, open a new terminal and run the following commands:
cd script
python3 obu.py
Do not close this terminal window.
To start the RSU script, open a new terminal and run the following commands:
cd script
python3 rsu.py
Do not close this terminal window.
To start the sensor simulator, open a new terminal and run the following commands:
cd sensor
python3 sensor_simulator.py
As soon as the garbage containers start filling up, the trucks will start moving to them and their routes will appear on the dashboard map.
Some parameters of this project can be modified, namely:
-
Number of gargabe containers and its respective position
- defined on the
sensor/sensor_position.jsonfile - with 30 default values
- defined on the
-
Home (initial and final) position of each one of the garbage trucks
- defined on this lines of
script/obu.pyscript - with the default values of:
[40.642050351865485, -8.646329251761603]for truck #1 (OBU1)[40.64302876711141, -8.653112236802189]for truck #2 (OBU2)[40.64556274792325, -8.64612107999697]for truck #3 (OBU3)
- defined on this lines of
-
Fill percentage at which the garbage container is considered full and will start to publish DENM messages to be emptied
- defined on this line of
sensor/sensor_simulator.pyscript and on this line ofscript/rsu.pyscript - with default value of
70%
- defined on this line of
-
Initial fill percentage of the garbage containers to speed up the simulation
- defined on this line of
sensor/sensor_simulator.pyscript - with default value of
0%
- defined on this line of
-
Maximum threshold percentage of the total number of garbage containers that a single truck can have assigned to it, to distribute the jobs more equally between the trucks
- defined on this line of
script/rsu.pyscript - with default value of
75%
- defined on this line of
The sensor data (garbage containers fill percentage) can also be changed in real-time manually, by changing the respective line on the sensor/sensor_data.txt file, instead of using the sensor simulator script.
