Complex Waste Collection Models
Nevrlý, Vlastimír ; Šenkeřík, Roman (referee) ; Procházka,, Vít (referee) ; Stehlík, Petr (advisor)
The subject of this doctoral thesis is the solution of logistics systems in the context of waste management. The work begins with an extensive research in the field of modelling various situations from the waste transportation chain. There are presented multiple types of practical tasks in the area of operation research applicable to waste management. Their possibilities of extension and modification are analysed for use by investors, technical services or waste collection service providers. An essential part of the work is the identification of critical parameters in the waste collection at the level of municipalities and micro-regions. Based on practical requirements, challenges related to the improvement of decision-making and planning systems are defined. The available techniques proved to be insufficient for practical problems. For the area of changes and designs of collection systems (design and modification of routes, choice of the vehicle fleet, collection plan, etc.) there are no procedures that would include a whole range of operating conditions and parameters. The boundary conditions of the task affecting fundamental requirements are highly variable. The thesis presents a comprehensive approach, which is divided into several phases. The preparation and analysis of input data focused mainly on the creation of transport infrastructure, allocation of waste collection containers and their pairing to the network, which also reduces the size of the task. Furthermore, a procedure for compliance with the rules of the road was designed using a penalty function, and an algorithm for defining imaginary edges was implemented, which will allow distinguishing the frequency of collection on selected network segments. To reduce the size of the task, a segment clustering algorithm was also designed, which will enable the calculation of the collection even for larger areas. Input parameters related to operating time and fullness of collection containers are elaborated in greater detail, as they most influence the results of the task. A great benefit is also the algorithm generating the initialization solution from historical routes. As part of the related publishing activities, environmental criteria were defined to evaluate global and local impacts of waste transportation and treatment. The outputs of the thesis are used primarily for the analysis of collection systems, to support the deployment of waste containers, planning collection routes, time schedules and dimensioning the size of the vehicle fleet. The proposed algorithms were tested in several case studies, which proved the broad applicability of a comprehensive tool in the field of waste logistics. Although the thesis is focused on modelling the collection of municipal waste, the usability of the implemented procedures is possible in other areas of waste management or other sectors.

Analysis of traffic data related to risks in waste management
Vaníček, Filip ; Smejkalová, Veronika (referee) ; Popela, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is to prepare real data for subsequent optimization of the collection plan using advanced VRP („Vehicle Routing Problem “) algorithms. The diploma thesis is motivated by the project Strategic Partnership for Environmental Technologies and Energy Production. The output focuses on indeterminate factors that have a major risk for subsequent operations. These are economic, environmental and social risks (overcrowded containers). Another result is the implementation and processing of the time-consuming passage of all streets, the estimation of the speed of the collection (garbage) truck for the subsequent optimization of the route and the estimation of the mean value of the filling of individual collection containers.

Input data for municipal waste collection routes optimization
Kulich, Marek ; Nevrlý, Vlastimír (referee) ; Pavlas, Martin (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to describe the systems of collection of separated waste as well as collection monitoring, which includes identification of containers, sensors and data transfer. The data is then summarized and analyzed for use in the optimization software that uses advanced ARP models. The practical part is devoted to the analysis of real data sets. On selected geographical area are determined the parameters of waste, the plan of the collection routes and their evaluation. The use of local infrastructure will be then shown by cartographic representations of the routes in the maps.

Transportation systems in waste management
Koutná, Marie ; Pavlas, Martin (referee) ; Gregor, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of the thesis is to elaborate on transport systems in waste management as they represent a key part of the waste management process. Its theoretical part covers legislation in waste management and sorts and systems of household waste collection. In the practical part there are commercially used vehicles chosen out and the fixed costs of their operation determined. Based on operation data, average velocities in an out of urban areas are calculated. As an outcome of a waste transport prices software, the influence of transport distance and waste mass are described, taking the average velocities into account.

Emerging systems of collection in waste management
Petrasová, Zuzana ; Kropáč, Jiří (referee) ; Gregor, Jiří (advisor)
The main aim of the thesis is a description of the methods used in the collection of waste with a focus on non-traditional ways. Its part is the outline of a basic technical specification of the methods. The analysis is further used to determine the technical-economic model for underground waste containers, which is able to calculate the construction costs based on given values. The model is designed for containers of three different volumes and is the main result of the thesis. The knowledge of input investments is being used to compare the economic demand and the potential return of investments with regards to the traditional collecting methods (bins, containers) and the pneumatic underground system, whose estimated costs are taken from foreign models.
