Data analysis in the fire safety system of rail transportation and dumping of municipal solid waste

Abstract

The problems concerning the municipal solid waste (MSW) management have been discussed. A particular attention has been payed to the fire safety solutions. An original system of the MSW flammability classification that is based on the exergetic coefficient was introduced. The advantages of the application of this system to the MSW railway transportation and burial have been discussed. To implement the exergy approach, a data mining system has been developed. The input data includes the following characteristics: separate waste collection, the waste morphological composition; the location, capacity, inclination, a load level, and the number of the waste containers; the MSW temperature, the explosive gases concentrations, and other parameters. The analysis of data obtained with the waste management system allows us to optimize processes for the waste collection, transportation, and burial. This approach is proved to optimize the waste transportation and stocking, and improve the fire safety. This article provides the best practices for landfilling and burying MSW for Siberia.
