Integrated Vehicle Routing and Crew Scheduling (IVRCS) in Waste Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Planning Waste Management involves the two major resources collection-vehicles and crews. The overall goal of our on-going project with two waste management companies is an integrative approach for planning the routes and the crews of the vehicles. Here we focus on the route generation as modeled in the first two phases of our three-phase optimization approach. We introduce relevant practical requirements and we describe solution methods that yield first promising results for a real-world data set.

Integrated Vehicle Routing and Crew Scheduling (IVRCS) in Waste Management Part II
Waste management involves an efficient planing of collectionvehicles and corresponding crews. We present an optimization model and algorithm for the crew scheduling problem which is the second part of an integrative solution approach. We differentiate between a network based duty generation phase and a duty optimization phase where an optimal set of annual duties for all employees is selected.
متن کاملSupply Chain Scheduling Using a Transportation System Composed of Vehicle Routing Problem and Cross-Docking Approaches
This study considers a combination of cross-docking and vehicle routing problem (VRP) approachesto transport raw material and parts in a supply chain. The supply chain is composed of some supplierswhich are spread in different geographical zones and multiple shared vehicles with different speedsand capacities for transporting orders from the suppliers to a manufacturer. After ...
متن کاملVehicle routing and crew scheduling for metropolitan mail distribution at Australia Post
This paper presents a new multi-depot combined vehicle and crew scheduling algorithm, and uses it, in conjunction with a heuristic vehicle routing algorithm, to solve the intra-city mail distribution problem faced by Australia Post. First we describe the Australia Post mail distribution problem and outline the heuristic vehicle routing algorithm used to find vehicle routes. We present a new mul...
متن کاملA new approach in graph- based integrated production and distribution scheduling for perishable products
This study is concerned with how the quality of perishable products can be improved by shortening the time interval between production and distribution. As special types of food such as dairy products decay fast, the integration of production and distribution scheduling (IPDS) is investigated. An integrated scheduling of both processes improves the performance and costs because the separated sc...
متن کاملRouting Vehicle of Urban Waste Collection Utilities GIS
Municipal solid waste collection is expensive and, in some cities, 46–85% of their whole waste management expenses are used for waste collection and transportation. Rapid urbanization and every day human actions generate a large amount of waste from residential, commercial, or industrial extents all over the world. Waste collection optimization can decrease the waste collection budget and envir...
