The transportation cost problem of solid waste presents the biggest part of the budget allocated by municipalities for SWM. So, there is no comprehensive plan to address transport routes optimization problems in SWM that including the transfer of solid waste from transfer stations to final landfill sites. Therefore, the aim of the study finding a scientific method to solve the transportation problem of solid waste transport suitable Baghdad city that tries to find feasible solutions that ensure reducing total transport costs and leads to an effective solid waste management system. In this research, a new methodology has been developed to select the optimal transport routs of SWM in Baghdad city which involves determining the best-supposed scenario. the proposed methodology includes integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies with Network Analysis model (NA). Therefore, this work provides an advanced framework of decision-makers for analysis and simulation of the optimal transport routs problem related to SWM. Applying these modeling tools to select the scenario that can provide economic benefits by minimizing travel time, travel distance and reduction of total transportation costs. The Results of work implementation show that all solutions that include current state S1 and suggested scenarios have been evaluated. The scenarios generated include (S2, S3) by applying the proposed technique for analyzed and identified the optimal routes. The solutions of scenario S2, specified with two landfill sites while scenarios S3 specified with four landfill sites. Finally, this work shows the Scenario S3 is the best scenario of the solution, that include applied GPS and Network Analysis for four landfill sites.

“…Depending on the complexity of the problem and different waste characteristics, different types of vehicles are used for collection and transportation (Wy et al, 2013). An integrated waste management system can improve the vehicle routing, dispatching, maintenance and management (Sahoo et al, 2005;Xu et al, 2015;Li et al, 2014;Ionescu and Stefani, 2014;Rabbani et al, 2014) and in this paper, in order to improve the road compactness and workload balancing, a scheme is developed for municipal solid waste collection and transportation: an optimization scheme is needed to reduce waste collection and transportation route length. This paper mainly focuses on the collection, transfer and transportation of solid waste from any waste generation sources (households, markets, institutions and offices) to the processing plant or landfill site.…”
