A Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Waste Collection in a Circular Economy
The increasing need for good waste management practices has driven the adoption of circular economy principles to reduce environmental impact and resource depletion. This work presents a mathematical model for integrating these principles to optimize waste collection. The problem under study is formulated as a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with capacity and time window constraints. A Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve this model and tested in real-world scenarios. The obtained results demonstrate its potential to significantly improve operational efficiency in waste management practices.
