Solid waste collection systems are very important in today's urban environment. The last three decades witnessed the development in urban areas over rural ones in a process called urbanization. Growth of urbanization is much more in developing countries than in the developed countries to the extent that it became a trend characterizing several developed and even least developed countries. Unfortunately, it has been observed that the systems currently used in modern cities do not provide a service of sufficient efficiency and quality, despite their high running costs. As an alternative, a smart solid waste collection system with all subcomponents was developed and applied in a small city in Turkey. In addition to the conventional waste collection systems, this system included smart features and optimization algorithms for route planning. The study presents the design philosophy, feasibility and pilot implementation of a smart solid waste collection system which can be operated with high efficiency at low cost.
ÖZETKatı atık toplama sistemleri günümüz toplumsal yapısı ve şehirleşmede çok önemlidir. Oldukça yüksek maliyetler ödenerek ortaya konmuş olsalar da şehirlerde çalışan sistemlerin yeterli verimlilikte ve kalitede hizmet vermedikleri açıktır.Bu çalışmada; şehirlerde yüksek verimlilik ve düşük maliyetlerle (%50-80 daha az maliyetlerle) çalışabilecek yeni bir akıllı katı atık toplama sisteminin tasarım yaklaşımı, fizibilite etüdü ve yapılan uygulama ile kazanılan tecrübeler açıklanmaktadır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Katı atık, toplama sistemi, sistem tasarımı, optimizasyon, verimlilik DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A SMART SYSTEM AIMING TO COLLECT SOLID WASTE ABSTRACTSolid waste collection systems are very important in today's social structure and urbanisation. Despite quite high costs are paid for them, it is clear that the waste collection systems presented in the cities does not offer a service with the sufficient efficiency and quality.This study explains the design approach, feasibility survey and the experiences acquired by means of the application conducted with regard to new smart solid waste collection system which can applicable with high efficiency and low cost (50% to 80%).
