Abstract Assistive technologies accelerate high quality and efficiency within smart cities. Due to the impact of urbanization, cities are facing increasing growth in the amount of trash. In recent years, many cities have utilized smart device technology to make them clean and achieve sustainable development, such as sensors to measure the trash level of the trash bin, smart waste generation, etc. However, the amenities provided by the cities should be convenient and reachable to all, including pedestrians and people with visual impairment. To this end, we have developed a Bluetooth beacon-based system called FinderX to find the nearest trash bin and restrooms around the users. The system will provide locations of nearby amenities in real-time using the position of the attached beacons. The system does not require any Internet or communication infrastructure and works indoors where GPS signal is not accessible. To demonstrate the feasibility of FinderX, we have set up a testbed and evaluated the system extensively in an urban environment. We found that FinderX demonstrated adequate usability and feasibility, and reduced the time to find a trash bin by 18.98% on average.
