Abstract:
Green logistic concept has emerged and inherently driven by the environmental
sustainability challenges. The implementation of Vehicle Routing Problem
(VRP) in real world relates with Green Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP). The
research is discussing about solving GVRP for waste collection system in
Sitiawan, Perak. The purpose of this research is to design a vehicle routes
selection for waste collection system using general optimization method and to
examine the result associates with GVRP. The methods used in this research is
Optimization method such as Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) by Branch
and Bound Algorithm approach that have been simulated using Matrix
Laboratory (MATLAB) Programming to compute the data. The expected
outcome shown in this paper would be statistical analysis between actual routes
and suggested routes to find the best routes. Result shows that routes suggested
by TSP had better efficiency which had less distance, less time and less carbon
emission than actual routes. However, the actual routes had only had slight
differences with the suggested TSP routes. Therefore, the result illustrates that
the application of actual route selection by the driver is efficient and the
suggested routes by TSP can be applied in real world applications.
