Abstract

The “Smart Gobbler: Development of Java-Based Application for Scheduling, Routing, and Mapping of Garbage Trucks using A Search Algorithm for Route Optimization and Geographic Information System for Mapping” project targets the Philippines' inefficient garbage collection schedules, which are aggravated by growing urbanization and increasing waste production. The primary aim of the Smart Gobbler project is to enhance waste management efficiency through the integration of real-time information and responsible disposal practices. This Java-based smart trash management system, created using Agile methodology, combines real-time data with ethical disposal procedures to transform traditional waste management. The system was built with JavaScript for the interactive user interface, Apache NetBeans as an integrated development environment, and MySQL Workbench for database management. Key features include real-time garbage truck tracking, efficient collection routes, user notifications, and thorough reporting. The system's creation required thorough planning, design, coding, and intensive testing to assure usability, functionality, and dependability. The implementation of EcoSmart significantly reduced bin overflows and illegal dumping, while increasing operational efficiency and community involvement in managing waste. User feedback suggests great satisfaction with the system's performance, implying that it has the potential for widespread use to promote environmental sustainability and improve public health.
