Metropolitan cities have the many problem to manage their waste, particularly in transportation management. One of critical factors to be considered at the time of transporting
waste is traffic jam. It means using
more resources and high cost. Through system engineering process approach as research methodology, the optimization model
is developed using linear
programming method to assign specific
type of fleet in the right time and destination based on the best route to meet maximum saving of cost where traffic jam factor is inserted as an independent
variable.
