L ' IRSA-CNR in collaboration with the Politecnico di Bari and the International Studies University ( Ciasu ), has developed a video surveillance system that allows both tracking the paths followed by the identification of places of loading and unloading (even partial) means those who transport waste . The system consists of a transponder unit GPS / GPRS / GSM, small size and weight, to be mounted on vehicles for the transport of solid and liquid waste, able to communicate to a central position of the vehicle weight changes, diversions, etc.. and an information system for management and use of data collected and transmitted. This system thus makes it possible to verify the actual route followed by half, to evaluate suspicious behavior such as route changes, stoppages, through protected areas, karst areas, buffer streams, blades and ravines, etc.., analyzing the parameters related to environmental risk related to transport of solid and liquid waste in order to be able to consider environmental protection between the elements evaluation for the selection of routes, etc..
vanish every year in Italy more than 20 million tons of waste , the new system would counter the worrying phenomenon of illicit trafficking of waste which has hitherto been difficult control.
