Abstract
A simulation was developed to determine optimum routes for refuse collection vehicles. The program yields exact routes suitable for use by municipalities. Crew size, vehicle size, and pickup time may be varied to permit efficient labor and equipment usage. The program computes overtime, incentive time, vehicular capacity utilization, mileage traveled, weight hauled, and productive time.
