Route Planning
Efficient waste hauling is one of the biggest challenges cities and service providers face today.
Inefficient route planning leads to unnecessary fuel consumption, higher operating costs, underutilized resources, and negative environmental impacts. Our Route Planning solution automates and optimizes waste pickup route management, ensuring maximum efficiency and sustainability while keeping costs under control.
Problems we solve
- Inefficient routes that increase fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions, and travel distance
- Underutilized vehicle capacity, workforce, and time, leading to higher operating costs
- Manual planning processes that are time-consuming and prone to errors
- Difficulty handling large-scale data from thousands of dumpsters and trucks
- Negative impacts on cities such as traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution caused by inefficient collection
Key functionalities and benefits of our solution
Advanced software technology
Route Planning Engine is the result of in-house R&D. We worked tirelessly to build an engine that understands the complex dynamics of waste collection, even in a large city with hundreds of vehicles and thousands of bins.
The Engine can accommodate multiple rules and account for different variables, such as truck capacity, dumpster capacity, waste type, dumpster type, and work schedules, to generate the routes you need. You can plan both scheduled and on-demand pickups. Find the best route for your waste truck and optimize transportation for waste disposal now – smart routing is the ideal solution for the waste management industry.
Redesigning fixed routes?
Not all waste haulers want to move toward on-demand waste pickup powered by waste monitoring sensors. The Route Planning solution can also support fixed routes very well. First, we run your existing data through Collection Efficiency Analysis to see how effectively you manage waste collection today.
Once we identify potential savings and unused capacity, we can run endless scenarios with our route calculation algorithms, taking into account all predefined data about fleet, dumpsters, labor hours, and more. The algorithms can work with thousands of points (dumpsters). All scenarios include a cost estimate. Together, we choose the scenarios that fulfill your goals — a smaller fleet, new customers, new containers, fuller vehicles, or emptier containers.
