Abstract
In this research, in order to investigate possible optimization of combustible waste collection and transportation process, simulation, which can simultaneously search for optimal collection and transportation routes, as well as disposal facilities locations, was constructed. By using this simulation, optimal plans for combustible waste collection and transportation, and accompanied CO2 emissions were compared for the several different scenarios in Okayama and Taman cities, both of which have different waste processing systems. Results showed possibility of area-wide scenario to reduce waste management cost. Additionally, it was shown that introduction of relay transportation results in the increase of both waste management cost and CO2 emissions.
