Abstract

This article presents a metaheuristic approach applying simulated annealing for the Municipal Solid Waste collecting route problem in the Historical Center of Cuernavaca, Mexico. The solid waste collection route addressed requires finding an optimal collection route in the constrained polygonal area of the historical center of Cuernavaca. The experimental evaluation solves a realistic problem considering garbage truck information of the Cuernavaca municipality. The proposed approach finds an optimal tour that improves up to 29.3% of the solid waste collection distance over current municipal solid waste system tours.
