I. Project Title: Raspberry Pi based Smart Waste Management System

with GSM
Subtopic: Waste management system for Barangay using IoT

II. Background of the Study:

One of the biggest challenges that confront the future in metro cities is
waste and garbage management. The common way of disposal of waste &
garbage is unplanned and uncontrolled openly dumped on the roads. This
method is unhygienic and harmful to humans, plants, and animals. This
unhygienic way of dumping waste can generate liquid leachate which may
pollute underwater resources; causes a harmful disease and may end having
an unclean environment.

Since we’re all in an era where things can be manipulated and resolved by
technology, the use of environmental technology such as the internet of things
can be a big help with this issue. The Internet of Things (IoT) is currently
considered as a basic communication infrastructure for smart cities, where
machines communicate automatically between each other.

Smart Waste Management System with GSM is a raspberry pi-based system

consists of a mechanical setup that is very innovative which will help to keep
the Barangay and cities clean. This proposed system monitors the garbage
bins and informs about the level of garbage collected in the garbage bins via
an SMS. For this, the system uses ultrasonic sensors placed over the bins to
detect the garbage level and compare it with the garbage bins depth. By

having such a system in multiple places everything is monitored and controlled

by a centralized node using IoT technology.

III. Purpose and Description:

Smart Waste Management System with GSM is an innovative and automated

system that will help to keep the barangays and cities clean and healthy. This
proposed system will monitors the garbage bins and informs about the level of
garbage collected in the garbage bins via an SMS, the system uses ultrasonic
sensors placed over the bins to detect the garbage level and compare it with
the garbage bins depth.

The system makes use of Raspberry pi board, LCD screen, GSM modem for
sending data. The system is powered by a 12V transformer. The LCD screen
is used to display the status of the level of garbage collected in the bins.
Whereas GSM is built to show the status to the user, monitoring it with SMS.
The SMS consists of text related to all garbage bins. The LCD screen shows
the status of the garbage level.

The system puts on LCD screen continuously monitoring of garbage with

raspberry pi board. Thus this system helps to keep the Barangay clean by
informing about the garbage levels of the bins by providing SMS to the
respective person. The proponent believes that a Smart waste management
system with GSM can solve or reduce the waste management problem in the
metro city to a minimum level.

I. Project Title: Personal English Trainer – AI Voice Assistant

Subtopic: Raspberry Pi-Based Linguistic AI Companion

II. Background of the Study:

As we continue living in a digital age, technology provides numerous

tools that we can use to enhance learning. Especially for students, who seek
help through the use of technology-based development. With mobile and other
wireless devices becoming an increasing requirement across every industry
today. Integrating technology in education helps the student stay engaged.
Most of the students today have been using devices like tablets, smartphones,
laptops and desktop to play and learn. It is the reason that technology has to
become more intelligent to make our lives easier and computers more
accessible.

This study addresses one of the issues of the students, the English language
anxiety. As a student, learning a second language helps us not just to
communicate across different cultures but it provides a competitive edge in
career choices. Additionally, the ability to communicate in English is becoming
more and more important in the increasingly integrated community. English
communication is one of the basic skills that a student has to develop to
survive in the world of work. However, the English subject which is the one
responsible for learning and developing one's literacy skills is not an easy
subject for many. Many develop fear or anxiety by simply thinking about it.
Many students have always encountered problems that did not make the full
learning of this language. To learn English requires constant practice and
patience and enough word vocabulary. The kind of feeling that prevails among
students is that it is not possible to achieve fluency or mastery over the
 ACLC COLLEGE TAGUIG

COLLEGE OF COMPUTER STUDIES

English language. This kind of tendency prevents students from learning

English.

Technology Can Help Where Humans Struggle, and with the presence of the
new trends in technology such as the Iot, these problems can be solved.
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is the field of computer science that attempts to
simulate characteristics of human intelligence or senses. These include
learning, reasoning, and adapting.

That is why the proponents came up with the idea of reducing the pressure of
the students by creating a Personal English Trainer. It can help students to
broaden their English vocabulary which is a very important part of learning a
language. The proponents believe that technology can help student’s reading,
writing, speaking and listening skills in English. The proponents are certain
that this device will improve not just the student’s English skills but their
confidence to conquer English language anxiety.

III. Purpose and Description

I. Project Title: Smart Emergency Button

Subtopic: Emergency Button for Elderly with Serious Illnesses

II. Background of the Study:

The elderly population is continuously increasing, and the problems faced

by these people are increasing simultaneously. Nowadays these people are facing

problems like lack of care, emotional support and economic support from the

family, etc. Our culture recognizes the status of the parents as that of God.

The elderly, especially those who are weak and/or dependent, require physical,

mental and emotional care and support. When this is not provided, they suffer

from neglect, a problem that occurs when a person is left uncared. This is

worsened as the elderly are less likely to demand attention than those of other age

groups. Many older persons live in fear. Whether rational or irrational, this is a

relevant problem faced by the elderly that needs to be carefully and effectively

addressed. Elderly who suffer from fear need to be reassured.

Emergency situations are increasing worldwide, and older people remain one of

the most seriously affected groups. Some emergencies happen inside and outside

the home. Elderly who suffer from mental and physical diseases requires attention.

Some elderly dies because they lack assistance and accompany. And, some
 ACLC COLLEGE TAGUIG

COLLEGE OF COMPUTER STUDIES

emergencies need to be treated while help is still on the way.

Since technology is one of the main sources of help when it comes to a faster and

easier way of living, it can be a big help in developing devices that will assure the

elderly to be safe.

Emergency Button for Elderly with serious Illnesses is a raspberry-pi based

system that uses the smart emergency button which sends an SMS to a pre-

determined device when pressed. This project uses a Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless.

The project will be able to trigger an emergency alert in a button-press event. It

must have Internet connectivity, as long as the people who receive the alert can

be located anywhere in the emergency trigger moment.

III. Purpose and Description

Emergency Button for Elderly with Serious Illnesses is a smart alert button

that sends notification to the person who is intended to receive it once the button is

pushed. This proposed project will benefit the elderly who has a serious illness

and is sometimes left alone. The person will receive an SMS that serves as a

warning that an emergency is happening.

Considering this requirements, Raspbery Pi Zero Wireless fits well. This board has

built-in wi-fi connectivity, powerful computational resources for an embedded

device (powerful processing, good RAM memory amount and a bunch of GPIOs),

small size (comparing to another popular Single-Board Computers available), can

run Linux OS (a very reliable and powerful operational system, what allows great

future improvements on project) and, last but not least, has a very competitive

cost.
