Smart Waste Infrastructure and Forecasting Telematics - pilot trial (SWIFT)

几十年来，目前的废物收集方法基本上没有改变，因此系统中存在严重的效率低下，造成不必要的空气污染物和繁忙的城市道路拥堵。智能废物基础设施和预测远程信息处理（SWIFT）试图通过使用传感器和收集路线优化来解决这些问题。在垃圾桶/垃圾桶加装SWIFT装置，亦可减少因垃圾桶/垃圾桶溢满而产生的垃圾（改善市区的环境）和乱扔垃圾。该项目寻求进行试点试验，将SWIFT概念从TRL 6转移到TRL8，预计2021年进入市场。

Current methods of waste collection have remained largely unchanged for decades, whereby significant inefficiencies exist in the system, creating unnecessary air pollutants and the congestion of busy urban roads. Smart Waste Infrastructure & Forecasting Telematics (SWIFT) seeks to address these issues through the use of sensors and collection route optimisation. Retrofitting/installing the SWIFT device in bins/skips will also lead to a reduction in the incidence of litter resulting from overflowing bins/skips (improving the amenity of urban areas) and fly tipping.This project seeks to undertake pilot trials, moving the SWIFT concept from TRL 6 to TRL8 with projected market entry 2021\.
