Track: Logistics
Authors: Richard Ladanyi

Household Waste Collection Service Providers use route planning software for reducing collection time and distance. Uncertainty factor of waste generation cannot be handled with the consumer software tools, development of a new planning tool seemed to be necessary. I have a story to tell about the research towards this new tool. ArcGIS Desktop, Network Analyst and programming possibilities of ModelBuilder was applied. The result means advantages to Service Providers in Waste Logistics Sector.
