A Dynamic Inventory Routing Problem model embedded into a rolling horizon solution approach is developed, along this paper, to solve the Smart Waste Collection Routing Problem. This allows the definition of dynamic waste collection routes that explore the use of real-time information on the bins…

Waste collection is nowadays an increasingly important business. However, it is often an inefficient operation due to the high uncertainty associated with the real waste bins’ fill-levels. To deal with such uncertainty the use of sensors to transmit real time information is seen as possible solution. But, in…

This paper studies the definition of dynamic routes regarding the waste collection problem. Based on access to real-time information, provided by sensors located at waste bin containers, a Vehicle Routing Problem with Profits (VRPP) solution approach is developed. This aims for the maximization of…
