Solid waste from an industrial park is to be collected in large containers, some of which will
be used in conjunction with stationary compactors. Based on traffic studies at similar parks,
it is estimated that the average time to drive from the garage to the first container (t1) and
from the last container (t2) to the garage each day will be 15 and 30 minutes, respectively. If
the average time required to drive between containers is 6 minutes and the one-way
distance to the disposal site is 30km(speed limit: 88kmh);
i) Determine the number of containers that can be emptied per day, based on a 7-hour
working day.
ii) The collectors claimed that they spend less than 15 percent of each 7-h workday on off-
route activities. From this information, decide whether the truth is on the side of the
collectors or the management. Is that possible for the management to increase 1 more
collection trip?
Given:
Pick up time per trip: Phcs =pc+uc+dbc
Time per trip, Thcs =(Phcs+s+a+bx)
Number of trips that can be made per day; Nd=H(1-W)-(t1+t2)? Thcs
