Description

Trash Dumping Prevention System The present invention relates to a waste dumping prevention system, and more specifically, to a waste dumping prevention system capable of preventing vehicle occupants from illegally dumping waste around roads by instilling a sense of caution in them regarding littering around roads. Through the digitalization and advancement of expressways, various Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been established on the main sections, providing efficient road management and services. On the other hand, entry and exit ramps such as highway interchanges and rest areas remain blind spots for these intelligent transportation systems; consequently, there has been growing interest in establishing systems and providing services for the efficient management of these sections. One issue arising in these exit ramps is "illegal waste dumping." As mentioned earlier, illegal dumping of waste is a problem that occurs in blind spots of traffic flow monitoring, leading to serious illegal dumping, increased disposal costs, and accidents during work. To eradicate such illegal waste dumping, the Korea Expressway Corporation is revitalizing the reporting system by providing incentives for customer tips, conducting video inspections and attaching warning signs at sites of habitual illegal dumping, and producing viral promotional videos to promote prevention on YouTube; however, it is difficult to eradicate illegal waste dumping with these methods alone. The reality is that despite repeated criticisms regarding traffic accidents caused by illegal dumping and the wasteful expenditure of the budget due to waste disposal, no improvements have been made. Furthermore, since littering along roadsides causes environmental pollution and damages urban aesthetics, if realistic detection is difficult, effective measures must be devised, such as methods to raise awareness among passengers. FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining a waste dumping prevention system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a drawing for explaining how to divide and photograph each surveillance area through an image capturing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a drawing for explaining how to capture a common shooting area through an image capturing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a drawing for explaining how an image capturing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention captures a surveillance area together. FIG. 5 is a drawing for explaining an image display unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is susceptible to various modifications and may take various forms, and embodiments are to be described in detail in the text. However, this is not intended to limit the invention to the specific disclosed forms, and it should be understood that the invention includes all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
