许多垃圾收集业务采用传统的固定轮次-固定时间服务，商业和家庭客户按照约定的时间间隔对垃圾箱进行维修。随着遥感技术现已进入市场，废物容器可以定期（例如每天）报告其填充水平，因此有机会动态优化收集时间表，以更好地满足其真正的服务需求。本文通过案例研究探讨了这种可能性，该案例涉及从乐施会慈善银行和商店收集的捐赠物品（例如衣服、书籍）。乐施会在英国运营着一个由约 1300 家捐赠银行组成的网络，目前按固定时间表提供服务，人们对通过使用捐赠率实时反馈（车辆路径问题 (VRP) 的动态异构变体，具有时间窗口、工作时间限制和客户选择）优化收款来实现运输成本降低非常感兴趣。该案例研究基于乐施会在英国定义的 33 个运营区域之一，其中包括来自 37 家银行网点和 50 家商店的捐款。
Many waste collection operations run on the traditional fixed round - fixed time service, where commercial and domestic customers have their bins serviced at agreed intervals. With remote sensing technology now coming onto the market that allows waste receptacles to report their fill levels at regular intervals (e.g. daily), there is the opportunity for dynamic optimisation of collection schedules to better meet their true servicing needs. This paper investigates this possibility using a case study involving collections of donated goods (e.g. clothing, books) from Oxfam charity banks and shops. Oxfam operates a network of around 1300 donation banks across the UK, currently serviced on a fixed schedule basis, and there is considerable interest in the transport cost reductions that could be realised through optimising collections using real-time feedback on donation rates (a dynamic and heterogeneous variant of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) with time windows, working time restrictions and customer selection). The case study is based on one of Oxfam’s 33 defined operating areas in the UK comprising collections from 37 bank sites and 50 shops.
