Environmental Monitoring
From a physical sensor to a useful signal.
01 / Context
The problem
The project investigated collecting and visualizing fill-level measurements from public waste bins in Moers.
02 / Response
The product response
A prototype pipeline connects sensor messages to processing and dashboard views. The README explains the communication protocols; source folders contain Node-RED flows and Python Dash applications.
03 / Contribution
My role
Academic group project in a public repository owned by Ubaida Dib. Individual authorship of every component is not established by the repository overview.
04 / Architecture
How the pieces connect
- 01Sensor / LoRaWAN
- 02The Things Network / MQTT
- 03Node-RED processing
- 04Python Dash visualization
05 / Execution
The engineering challenge
Making a physical measurement useful across several communication and software layers.
06 / Result
Outcomes & perspective
Public prototype code and system documentation. No city-wide deployment or operational efficiency result is claimed.
07 / Reflection
A lesson from the work
A useful dashboard starts well before the screen: transport, processing, and interpretation all shape what it can communicate.
08 / Evidence
Evidence & scope
Source: public project README and source tree. The project is an academic prototype.
