Abstract:

Since 2000, new technologies such as geographical information system (GIS) and related optimization software have been used to optimize the haul route distances. The city limits of Pune is 250.56km2 in 2011, leading to sub-optimum levels in solid waste transportation of 1600 tonnes per day. After developing a spatial database for the whole of Pune city with 15 wards, the route optimization procedures have been run for the transport of solid wastes forward no. 14 (generating nodes) to one transfer station (intermediary before landfill), using ArcGIS. The optimization process reduced the distances travelled by 9.93%. Savings in terms of time taken for both the current and shortest paths have also been computed, considering traffic conditions.
