  1. 11. Capacitated Multi Depot Green Vehicle Routing for Transporting End-of-Life electrical waste : A practical study on environmental and social sustainability within the field of CMDGVRP with heterogeneous fleets

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Karl-Johan Djervbrant; Andreas Häggström; [2021]
    Keywords : VRP; GVRP; CMDGVRP; Routing; Optimization; Environmental; Sustainability; Environmental sustainability; Social sustainability; Waste collection; Heterogeneous fleet;

    Abstract : A comprehensive study is presented of the Capacitated Multi DepotGreen Vehicle Routing Problem (CMDGVRP) applied to a heterogeneous fleet of electronic waste collecting vehicles with two objectives: to reduce the total fuel consumption of the vehicles (environmental sustainability) and to limit the continuous drive-time of the drivers (social sustainability). Research has been limited from this aspect, and in this study, the focus is on the practical application of pickup and delivery of electronic waste. READ MORE
