Computational Simulation to Assist in Determining the Flow of Selective Waste Collection
Abstract
The paper presents the design, development and validation of a discrete event simulation model applied to the control of the distribution of selective collection of solid waste. The work has as its main functionality the generation of alternatives to the decision making process regarding the determination of the daily amount of solid waste to be sent to each sorting unit participating in the process participating in the process, in order to avoid the waste of manpower, and also in the search for the reduction of the amount of waste sent to landfills. landfills. For its development, the Arena software was used and for its validation were used data from selective collection in a city of Rio Grande do Sul.
