A step towards smart city: RFID tags for Mumbai dustbins soon

Mumbai's dustbins will now be fitted with radio frequency interface devices (RFIDs) that will give garbage collection squads information on which bins remain uncleared. A part of BMC’s vehicle tracking management system (VTMS), the project will also include real-time monitoring of the civic body’s garbage vehicles. Introduced as a pilot project in the G/South ward (which includes Worli) on Friday, the project has been touted by municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte as a step towards making Mumbai a ‘smart city’.
