Solving the waste bin location problem with uncertain waste generation rate: a bi-objective robust optimization approach [PDF]

open access: yes
An efficient Municipal solid waste (MSW) system is critical to modern cities in order to enhance sustainability and livability of urban life. With this aim, the planning phase of the MSW system should be carefully addressed by decision makers. However, planning success is dependent on many sources of uncertainty that can affect key parameters of the ...
