The smart waste collection routing problem: Alternative operational management approaches

作者：

Highlights：

• The Smart Waste Collection Routing Problem is introduced.

• Sensors provide real-time bins’ fill-levels, used to define dynamic routes.

• Three approaches are studied to deal with the real-time information.

• A model to choose bins to visit considering fill-levels and locations is proposed.

• Collecting the more attractive bins improves the operation efficiency.
