Abstrak

The municipal solid waste management is key for preserving the environment, protecting public health, and maintaining public cleanliness. Apart from these benefits, developing countries are more attracted to such systems as they offer an economical solution for waste management. This article intends to present a cost-effective and optimized waste management solution for Islamabad, Pakistan. The key steps of this research include; 1. acquisition of data; 2. transformation of data into coordinate form; 3. modeling of optimized waste collection routes and transportation; 4. modification of the capacitated vehicle routing algorithm to yield the optimized vehicle routes. The simulations are performed in MATLAB 2017B. Trial results show the efficacy of the recommended method.
