Goal and impact
The aim is to predict as accurately as possible when a container needs to be emptied. This is to avoid unnecessary trips by drivers, but also to avoid containers being full and residents not being able to dispose of their waste paper.
Considerations
By using this algorithm, drivers drive fewer routes. This is cheaper, but it also means less CO2 emissions and less traffic on the road. As a result, the trucks used to empty the containers also last longer. The disadvantage of using this algorithm is that drivers have less freedom in which routes they drive.
Human intervention
A driving route is planned by planners every day. The proposed driving route can be supplemented or adjusted. For example, in response to complaints from residents about certain containers, or due to unexpected absence of drivers such as illness.
Risk management
Failures of the system are monitored. Regular checks of containers and sensors take place.
Operations
Data
Sensors are used to measure how full the container is. It also uses past data on how quickly a container became full and looks at the availability of drivers.

Technical design
Sensors measure how full the container is. Based on the fill rate and past data on how quickly the container became full, it determines when to include it in a driving route. This also considers the availability of drivers.

- This algorithm has a low impact. Through weighing data and sensor data, we know how full a waste container is. As a result, we only need to empty the full containers. As a result, Amsterdam residents can always dispose of their waste.Last change on 25th of April 2024, at 12:31 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
