Sustainable Waste Collection Vehicle Routing Problem for COVID-19

COVID-19 pandemic has imposed many threats. One among them is the accumulation of waste in hospitals. Waste should be disposed regularly and safely using sustainable methods. Sustainability self development with preservation society its resources. The main objective this research to achieve sustainability collection by minimizing cost factor. Minimization sustainable-cost involves minimization three sub-components – total travel-cost representing economical component, emission-cost environmental component driver-allowance-cost social component. Most papers under implement Tabu search algorithm fail consider aspects involved. We propose a mathematical model, novel called grouping algorithm, combination Nearest Neighbor Simulated Annealing transportation during pandemics. All these algorithms are run on Solomon’s Gehring Homberger’s benchmark dataset. obtained from output routes proposed found perform effectively for all instances minimized solution. results verified computational techniques such as Integrated Ranking Relative Percentage Deviation statistical Descriptive Statistics.
