Smart Waste Management

Most collection routes were drawn once and have not been redrawn since the ward boundaries changed.

So the vehicle visits a bin that is a third full and misses one that overflowed on Tuesday, and the only record of either is the driver's word. The gap is simpler than routing software. Fill level, trip count and tonnage are never measured against the same trip.

Talk to SECCOM about instrumenting one real ward: bins, vehicles and one weighbridge. Two weeks of data settles arguments that have run for years.

What you get. A per-vehicle trip record tied to a GPS trail and a weighbridge ticket. That is what a payment certificate can be built on, and it is what makes a per-trip or per-tonne contract auditable.

Where SECCOM stops. Vehicles, crew and the collection contract belong to the urban local body or its concessionaire. SECCOM instruments them and reports what happened.
