Optimize Capacity for a Uniform Waste Transportation Collection

Abstract

Transportation-related costs are responsible for a large portion of the waste collection process. In the past several optimization approaches in routing having been the proposal with a diversity of algorithm. In this work we propose a novel approach where we analyze waste deposition volume and try to identify patterns for a deterministic and uniform waste collection. Instead of routing optimization we propose a capacity determination based on location, year period, special events and weather conditions. An IoT sensor transmitted volume every time the wasted door is open and provide real-time value.
