Smart Route Management for Bin Truck

Solid waste collection is crucial to maintain the cleanliness and avoid pollution to the surrounding environment. In Malaysia, there are authorities that responsible in controlling waste collections, disposals, and recycles. However, current practice in waste collections and disposals are less systematic, time consuming and energy wasted. Therefore, this research reviews on the geographical information to optimize the route taken for solid waste collections and disposal specifically in Melaka. From the geographical information, few routes were selected for pilot study and was optimized to reduce the distance of the routes and the duration taken during waste collection. A navigation app is built in assisting the workers in navigation of the optimized routes. The route optimization leads to the yield increase of waste collection since the route planning can further help the related authorities maintain the cleanliness of the area.
