Fig. 5 shows a schematic representation of the phases of the
methodology proposed. The first phase of the methodology consists
of number of sources, which are scattered throughout the city by
heterogeneous way. Each of the source is connected to its neighbour
sources by at least one route or more than one route. In the first
phase, we have pointed out all sources and all possible connecting
routes between them according to existing map. Then we apply
our proposed route optimization technique to find out the optimal
routes for waste collection. In the second phase, our main objective
is to transport waste from collection centres to transfer stations
through optimal routes. Therefore, the location of the collection centres
and routes have been selected according to the existing map.
Then we apply our proposed scheme for second phase optimization.
In the third phase, the location of the transfer stations and routes
between them has been identified through the detail existing map
study. Then we found out the optimal route between the transfer
stations by applying our third phase optimization process. The combination
of these three phase output shows the optimal way of
waste collection, transfer and transportation.
