Chennai Municipal Waste Network

5,100 TPD Network Optimization · MILP

Mathematical modeling and operations research for municipal solid waste management across Chennai. Formulated Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) to optimize routing for 5,100 Tons Per Day (TPD) across 200 wards, 12 transfer stations, and 2 regional landfills.

  • Modelled 5,100 Metric Tons/Day across 200 municipal wards
  • Formulated MILP models using LINGO, Python, and PuLP
  • Integrated Google OR-Tools for capacitated vehicle routing
  • Spatial allocation mapping and routing visualized in QGIS
