Municipal solid waste management is a major challenge for nowadays urban societies, because it accounts for a large proportion of public budget and, when mishandled, it can lead to environmental and social problems. This work focuses on the…
An efficient Municipal solid waste (MSW) system is critical to modern cities in order to enhance sustainability and livability of urban life. With this aim, the planning phase of the MSW system should be carefully addressed by decision…
Municipal solid waste management is a paramount activity in modern cities due to the environmental, social and economic problems that can arise when mishandled. In this work, the sequencing of micro-routes in the Argentine city of Bah\'ia…
The municipal solid waste system is a complex reverse logistic chain which comprises several optimisation problems. Although these problems are interdependent, i.e., the solution to one of the problems restricts the solution to the other,…
The rapid and constant increase in urban population has led to a drastic rise in urban solid waste production with worrying consequences for the environment and society. In many cities, an efficient waste management combined with a suitable…
Smart city [1] planning is crucial as it should balance among resources and the needs of the city .It allows to achieve good eco-friendly industries, there by supporting both the nature and the stake holders. Setting up an industry is a…
Public health and habitat quality are crucial goals of urban planning. In recent years, the severe social and environmental impact of illegal waste dumping sites has made them one of the most serious problems faced by cities in the Global…
Municipal Solid Waste systems have important economic, social, and environmental impacts for society. Within the diverse stages of the Municipal Solid Waste reverse logistic chain, the waste bin location problem consists in properly…
The compactness of routes in distribution plans is a criterion that has not been sufficiently explored in the literature related to logistics distribution but has shown to have a significant impact on the practical implementation of routing…
Few activities are as crucial in urban environments as waste management. Mismanagement of waste can cause significant economic, social, and environmental damage. However, waste management is often a complex system to manage and therefore…
Littering quantification is an important step for improving cleanliness of cities. When human interpretation is too cumbersome or in some cases impossible, an objective index of cleanliness could reduce the littering by awareness actions.…
Managing municipal solid waste in rapidly urbanizing Sub-Saharan Africa remains challenging due to dispersed informal dumping and limited high-resolution datasets for spatial monitoring. We present an open-access deep learning model for…
The fast demographic growth, together with the concentration of the population in cities and the increasing amount of daily waste, are factors that push to the limit the ability of waste assimilation by Nature. Therefore, we need…
Regarding the concepts of urban management, digital transformation, and smart cities, various issues are presented. Currently, we like to attend to location allocation problems that can be a new part of digital transformation in urban…
The population of the urban areas is increasing daily, and this migration is causing serious environmental pollution. A larger population is creating pressure on the municipality's waste management and the city corporations of developing…
Many real-world data mining applications need varying cost for different types of classification errors and thus call for cost-sensitive classification algorithms. Existing algorithms for cost-sensitive classification are successful in…
Solid waste management is one of the existing challenges in urban areas and it is becoming a critical issue due to rapid increase in population. Appropriate solid waste management systems are important for improving the environment and the…
The effort invested in a software project is probably one of the most important and most analyzed variables in recent years in the process of project management. The limitation of algorithmic effort prediction models is their inability to…
We present MonteBoxFinder, a method that, given a noisy input point cloud, fits cuboids to the input scene. Our primary contribution is a discrete optimization algorithm that, from a dense set of initially detected cuboids, is able to…
For planning rearrangements of objects in a clutter, it is required to know the goal configuration of the objects. However, in real life scenarios, this information is not available most of the time. We introduce a novel method that…
