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

目前的废物收集方法几十年来基本上没有改变，因此该系统效率低下，造成不必要的空气污染和忙碌的城市道路拥堵。智能废物基础设施和预测电信系统（SWIFT）试图通过使用传感器和收集路线优化来解决这些问题。在垃圾箱/垃圾车中改装/安装SWIFT设备还将减少垃圾箱/垃圾车溢出（改善城市地区的舒适度）和乱倒垃圾造成的垃圾事件。该项目旨在进行试点试验，将SWIFT概念从TRL 6转移到TRL 8，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\.
