Abstract

The surge in global population has substantially contributed to insufficient waste management practices, leading to an escalation in the volume of waste discharged into rivers. In this era of globalization, modern communication protocols and smart detecting sensors are widely used in daily life. These implementations help in monitoring and analysing data to prevent and preserve environmental condition. A floating waste detector utilising radar sensor and low-powered LoRa technology in such to detect and locate floating waste in water bodies which is a major environmental problem including entanglement and ingestion of marine life, degradation of water quality, and destruction of habitats as well as flooding. The radar sensor is connected to a LoRa transceiver module that transmits data to a central server for processing and monitoring. This project aims to analyse the accuracy and reliability of radar sensor in floating waste detection. Results show that the radar sensor employed in the system has demonstrated a higher level of reliability in detecting larger and solid objects, making it a robust tool for monitoring and managing floating waste in water bodies.
