The invention discloses an intelligent garbage monitoring and clearing method and device based on edge calculation. A
cloud server and a plurality of edge servers are arranged; setting an intelligentterminal at each garbage can, and periodically sending the acquired sensor information to an
edge server through a communication module; a
data monitoring module is arranged on the
edge server, analyzes the data sent by the intelligent terminal, obtains various data of the garbage can, and respectively stores the data to a local
database of the
edge server and a
database of the
cloud server; man-
machine interaction ends are arranged on an edge
server and a
cloud server respectively, services needing to be processed in real time are arranged on the edge
server according to time
delay requirements of the services, and other services are arranged on the cloud
server; and the edge server carries out path planning by using the received data and sends the data to the
garbage collection and transportation vehicle, and the
garbage collection and transportation vehicle realizes
garbage collection and transportation according to the planned path. Various states of the garbage can can be monitored, clearing and transporting path planning is facilitated, and whether fire hazards exist in the garbage can or not can be judged; a
system architecture is reasonably set, and
low delay is realized.
