Article scientifique 2020 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract Transportation of municipal solid waste to disposal sites takes a large percentage of its overall management costs. The objective of this study is to optimize the transportation route of municipal solid waste using the Network Analyst tool for Jimma town. The input data in the present study were coordinates of individual municipal solid waste collection container location and disposal site location, master plan, and road shapefile. Network Analyst, an extension of ArcGIS was the main software used in the study. The result obtained includes the proposed number and location of MSW container and the best possible route for the evacuation of municipal solid waste from individual container location to the disposal site. The minimum average distance to transport loaded containers from individual collection container locations to the disposal site and empty container to its location that optimized by the network analyst tool was 17.94 km. It is therefore recommended that the urban authority should do route planning for municipal solid waste collection vehicles within the urban area.
