Application Areas

City Management
Environment

Expected Outcomes

Illegal Dumping Monitoring
-	Collect information for planning and operation against illegal dumping activities
-	Record and identify illegal waste dumping activities in the street and track street obstructions such as recyclers shops and waste collection vehicles obstacles in selected area of interest
-	Identify dumping type (e.g. by hand, with vehicle, with trolley)
-	Automatically measure the volume and type of waste captured if illegal waste dumping is suspected
-	Recognise the vehicle licence plate number
-	Automatically track and analyse vehicles and the corresponding vehicle type:
> Motor Cycle

> Taxi
> Private Light Bus
> Public Light Bus
> Light Goods Vehicle
> Medium / Heavy Goods Vehicle
> Non-franchised Bus
> Franchised Bus (single decker)

-	Alert and Reporting
> Trigger an email alert on the event time and venue in Backend instantly if illegal waste dumping is suspected
> Trigger alert should have information for user preview and verify the suspected activities
> Log the illegal dumping event in the backend system and provide both web and mobile client to access report system
-	Provide a live view at the scene
-	Alternative technologies other than cameras which are privacy-friendly (i.e. no excessive data collection principle under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and the practice of collecting minimum information for the purpose of data collection) should be considered only.
