12.1 Introduction
Transportation seems to have a strong connection with economy development, social
developments, and also to the security of a country. To create this convenient growth
of transportation, it is essential to have a sustainable planning. Today, transportation
has been an important role to ensure the movement of passengers and goods from
one location to another. It is needed at most of the time for every people to travel to a
place, to move goods and cargo, and other functions that help us in daily life. Besides
that, transportation is also important for handling the waste management today.
The waste management transportation system is one of the main important sectors
in the transportation sector that can be improved concurrently especially in reducing
the operational costs. A lot of ways can be determined by transportation experts
and specialist to minimize the overall operational costs in certain areas. One of the
main target areas is residential areas, industrial areas, and ports where it becomes
vital to collect domestic waste, industrial waste, and port waste. According to [1]
stated that in Malaysia, the expanding population growth also increases the amount of
solid waste generated from sources like domestic, industrial, and commercial sources
which is becoming the crucial issue in this country. Therefore, choosing the best route
is one of the main problems that are faced by the authorities. Poor performance of
transport in residential and industrial areas will decrease the efficiency of the waste
management system that can cause pollution to the environment.
The better planning in routes selection at residential and industrial areas can be
solved by using the green vehicle routing problem (GVRP). The GVRP is according
to [2], a green logistic initiative to suggest the best routes that meet the requirements
to protect the environment and save costs. This optimization algorithm measures
what are the best indicators needed to be considered in waste management systems
to develop the best routes. The routes of waste collection at some parts of the district
at Sitiawan, Perak, are selected by local authorities as a sample research. Then, all
the indicators that effecting the process of waste collection systems are being verified
and measured to solve the GVRP by using traveling salesman problem (TSP). TSP
is one of basic optimization techniques that will analyze the algorithm of GVRP for
controlling the execute time by use of a MATLAB programming and produce the
number of best routes selection as references to reduce the actual daily routes usage
but at the same time decreasing the amount of carbon emission release.
