The Waste Transporting Vehicle Track System(Global Positioning System, GPS) was established by EPA in 2002, and there were over 9,000 vehicles monitored by GPS system. It’s effective for industrial waste transporting management. The monitoring system also eliminated occurrences of illegal behavior. But there were still a few unscrupulous vendors trying to violate Solid Waste Management Act by illegal dumping. In order to enforce regulations, the EPA established” Applying GPS tracker in Industrial waste management Project”, expected the inspectors could apply the GPS tracker technology finding out the illegal dump with limited manpower.
The project checked the interference factors of the GPS tracker before delivery, such as shelter, metal, water containing. The project tested various of industrial wastes, included slag and sludge, developed over 16 tests, and provided limits and suggestion of application. According to the questionnaire in inspection representatives’ meeting to customize the GPS tracker for the purpose of trace the industrial waste transportation. Then formulate basic specifications: extend the battery life (2 months), water repellent, powerful magnet, remote wakeup call, and remote multiple frequency. This project delivered 7 different brands, 40 trackers on August 8th and 30 in 2016 to EPA.
When tracker was applied within the inspection, project provided daily personal monitor and report. The results included sludge, slag, recycle products, and coal ash, over 10 different types of industrial wastes were installed, and project exposed suspected illegal behavior. The project also analyzed the trackers’ lost signal cases as a reference to proper application environment. In order to use trackers easily, project integrated 5 different brands tracker system into EPA monitoring system on October 26th, 2016. Users could view various trajectory by login EPA monitoring system.
Two conferences took place within the project, one is the chamber of commerce, during the meeting the purpose of the project was introduced and collected tracker’s customization requirements. the other meeting was held for tracker’s training, also included monitoring system and GPS tracker device operation. The project also studied two alternative technologies, such as RFID, I beacon(Bluetooth), and new application in the future.
The project had accomplished several tasks, such as customized GPS tracker, System integration, studied alternative technologies. And project also exposed suspected illegal dump, The accomplishment of the project provided the improvement of the GPS tracker, and drafts of amendment law for better technical assistance on inspection unit in the future.
