Waste Collection Vehicle Routing Problem Considering Similarity Pattern of Trashcan
Authors
Abstract:
Collection of waste is an important logistic activity within any city. In this study, a mathematical model is proposed in order to reduce the cost of waste collection. First a mixed-integer nonlinear programming model is provided including a waste collection routing problem, so that, there is a balance between the distance between trashcans, and the similarity of the trashcans in terms of the types of waste which is in the trashcans, in order to select the optimal route for each garbage transport vehicles. For this purpose, a similarity pattern is designed. Then, the model is solved by using LINGO 0.9 software and the output results of solved model were analyze.

A hybrid metaheuristic algorithm for solving a rollon–rolloff waste collection vehicle routing problem considering waste separation and recycling center
This paper addresses a rollon–rolloff waste collection vehicle routing problem which involves large containers that collect huge amounts of waste from construction sites and shopping malls. In this problem, vehicles could only move one container at a time between customers’ locations, a depot, a disposal center, and a recycling center site. Other than a disposal center, a recycling ...

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...
full textVehicle Routing for a Complex Waste Collection Problem
We consider a complex waste collection problem, where the residents of a certain region dispose of recyclable waste, which is collected using a fixed heterogeneous fleet of vehicles with different volume and weight capacities, fixed costs, unit distance running costs and hourly driver wage rates. Each tour starts and ends at one of several depots, not necessarily the same, and is a sequence of ...

In this paper, we consider a complex garbage collection problem, where the residents of a particular area dispose of recyclable garbage, which is collected and managed using a fleet of trucks with different weight capacities and volume. This tour is characterized by a set of constraints such as the maximum tour duration (in term of distance and the timing) consumed to collect wastes from severa...
full textA Heuristic Model for Municipal Solid Waste Collection Vehicle Routing
Appropriate vehicle routing is critical for collecting municipal solid waste (MSW) efficiently. Conventional empirical routing is not easily altered in response to rapidly changing waste management plans and generation. An enhanced model is proposed herein to solve a MSW collection routing problem involving a homogenous fleet. A minimum cost flow method is applied to pre-process the original co...

We study a waste collection vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) complicated by multiple disposal trips and driver’s lunch breaks. Recently Kim et al. [1] introduced and addressed this problem using an extension of the well-known Solomon’s insertion approach, and a clustering-based algorithm. We propose and present the results of an initial study of a multi-objective genetic algori...
