优化海地城市废物管理收集路线：DataKind和SOIL之间的合作
Optimizing Waste Management Collection Routes in Urban Haiti: A Collaboration between DataKind and SOIL
摘要：
可持续有机综合生计组织是一个研究和发展组织，旨在增加海地城市社区获得具有成本效益的家庭卫生服务的机会。每周，SOIL为1,000多户家庭提供生态卫生厕所，然后将废物运输到肥料中。然而，SOIL面临着一些挑战，其混合车队车辆路线优化。本文基于作者提交给彭博社2019年数据良好交换（D4 GX）的文件，介绍了数据科学非营利组织DataKind与SOIL之间联合合作的初步研究结果。这项研究展示了优化算法和开源工具（即，OpenStreetMap和Google OR-Tools）可以帮助改善和降低混合车队路线问题的成本，特别是在发展中国家。由于这项工作，SOIL能够改善他们的收集路线，这些路线考虑到不同的道路条件和车辆类型。这些改进降低了运营成本和燃料使用，这对未来几年的服务扩展至关重要。
英文摘要：
Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods (SOIL) is a research and development organization that aims to increase access to cost-effective household sanitation services in urban communities in Haiti. Each week, SOIL provides over 1,000 households with ecological sanitation toilets, then transports the waste to be transformed into rich compost. However, SOIL faces several challenges regarding the route optimization of their mixed fleet vehicle routing. This paper builds upon the authors' submission to Bloomberg's 2019 Data for Good Exchange (D4GX), presenting preliminary findings from a joint collaboration between DataKind, a data science nonprofit, and SOIL. This research showcases how optimization algorithms and open source tools (i.e., OpenStreetMap and Google OR-Tools) can help improve and reduce the costs of mixed-fleet routing problems, particularly in the context of developing countries. As a result of this work, SOIL is able to make improvement to their collection routes, which account for different road conditions and vehicle types. These improvements reduce operational costs and fuel use, which are essential to the service's expansion in the coming years.
