management, waste collecting in ports, and courier service in urban areas. However,
the need of having better green transportation is essential in this era because worry
because of an increasing number of pollution. The domestic waste management is
another area that need have improvisation in terms of disposing the waste. Furthermore, the condition of the road especially in landfill area is needed to improve the
safety level due to the dangerous inclining road that put the life of the workers at
risk. In addition, the location of the disposal area is not relevant for the trucks from
Sitiawan to deliver which is far from the city.
12.6 Recommendation
This research provides a further development that can be done in the future to improve
the GVRP in transportation. This research will require a lot of time to collect the
exact and various data in order to get better results of new route suggestion. The
limitation of time during conducting this research suggests that a longer period
of conducting this research is needed. The hard process of getting permissions to
enter the industrial area or company that works with waste collection management
influences the time needed to make this research a success. In addition, this research
can also be done by using other optimization methods to get the new suggested route.
Reducing carbon emission and moving toward green transportation can be achieved
by using other optimization methods. Different methods will give different results in
route optimization. Next, the benchmark data and actual result of this research can
be used in other areas of activities such as port waste management, courier services,
supply chain management, logistics activities, and transportation management. Any
activities that involve movement of vehicles can use optimization in determining
the best route to use that give the lowest cost and pollution to the environment.
Furthermore, the efficiency in transportation is vital for the company to have the
lowest cost of operation to generate more profit from their services.
Besides that, recommendations on the initiative of disposing the domestic waste
are needed to save the world from heavy pollution. Dangerous materials and chemicals are dumped at the landfills together with other kinds of waste that can release
hazardous chemicals into the air. Activities in recycling the waste to materials that
can be re-used need to be improved and further actions must be taken to have an
efficient waste management. The increasing number of daily waste daily worries the
impact on the world in the future for the next generation. It also is recommended that
further safety measures and improvements need to be done for the road usage of the
trucks. The road that is used by the trucks is dangerous and in bad condition which
can lead to accidents. The government needs to take action on the improvement of
road quality to reduce the risk of accidents during the waste collection period.
