| Abstract |
This study is applying network theory to the problem of routing a solid waste collection vehicle through a street network. It is centered on the development of an algorithm to find the minimum tour of a vehicle which has to complete a round trip through a network consisting of both one-way and two-way streets. It is the total length of the tour which is sought rather than the detailed and chronologic schedule of the vehicle. This tour is found by minimizing the total length of street segments which have to be retraced. The problem can be described mathematically as a linear program whose optimal solution is guaranteed to be integer. |
