Abstract
AbstractThe basic problem concerning the waste management system is work organization, which should be effective with maximum profit and minimum financial outlays. This means that the key factor for the efficient functioning of this system are all types of costs. When collecting waste, the main operational cost factors are the driver's working time and the service time of the waste collection vehicle, as well as the route that the vehicle has to cover. The article presents route optimization solution for a vehicle collecting urban waste (both mixed and segregated) is a simple method of determining the order of driving through individual city streets. The prepared solution is universal and is not limited only to the surveyed housing estate. It presents a pattern that can be applied to other routes in a similar way. Shortening the distance and thus the working time is a result of minimizing empty runs and moving several times over the same section. Developing an optimal route for so many values requires very complicated calculations and would not reflect the real possibilities of waste collection by employees and MZGK Company. The presented solution can be used as an instruction to take the first steps to optimize the operation of the vehicle and as an initial point for further modifications of the operating system.
Highlights
The basic problem concerning the waste management system is work organization, which should be effectiveThe main components of total costs include vehicle purchase costs and necessary operating costs [3]
The largest of them are related to fuel consumption [4]. They are the main components of the Total Costs of Ownership (TCO) [5]
Considering the subject of optimization of transport activity, it is impossible to ignore the problem of the travelling salesman, commonly referred to as the travelling salesman problem (TSP)
Summary
The basic problem concerning the waste management system is work organization, which should be effective. The advantage of hydrogen vehicles over electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries is a very short hydrogen refuelling time and a much greater range Another factor affecting the operating costs of a municipal cleaning company is the choice of an optimal route [24, 25]. Choosing a vehicle with low consumption of inexpensive fuel and an optimal route for the transport task of collecting municipal waste may result in the lowest possible operating costs of the vehicle fleet [28]. This eliminates longer journeys, transport downtime or overlapping routes involving the same location This results in greater efficiency of the means of transport used, reduction of the time needed to perform a given operation and, increased collection of municipal waste along with its delivery to the collection point
