Kardinal Transport
Waste Transport
Waste transportation has always been a challenging logistics business, and new complexities are emerging due to new customer expectations, such as predicting arrival times.
At the same time, new opportunities are arising from data such as real-time fill rates for dumpsters. To make the most of this, players are digitizing their processes, which route optimization supports and improves.
Use cases
Use cases for waste transport
Operations scheduling
Based on a set of orders to be scheduled and available resources, our algorithms optimally plan complex bulk and waste handling operations to control costs, productivity and service quality.
Predictive ETA
Based on scheduled operations, our algorithms calculate predictive arrival times that can be used to notify loading and unloading sites of truck arrivals.
Real-time adjustments
As operations unfold and unexpected events or emergencies occur, our algorithm continuously calculates optimal route adjustments, taking into account the current driver and traffic conditions.
Calls for tender
During a tender, our algorithms calculate the optimal transportation cost for every relevant scenario, so you can build the most competitive bid.
Operational constraints
Handle the constraints specific to waste transport.
From the expected baseline to the signature rules almost no one can model, pick a level to see what the optimization accounts for.
Heavy-vehicle routing
Routes respect heavy-vehicle limits: tolls avoided, dimensions handled, and only roads cleared for hazardous materials.
Direct pickup to drop-off
Some pickups go straight from collection to drop-off, with no stop in between.
On-site equipment requirements
Stops that require particular equipment or a certified crew to be served.
Multi-dimension capacity
Weight, volume and container count: every truck limit is respected at once.
Site opening hours
Site opening hours are taken into account, down to dedicated collection or unloading slots.
Equipment-based service time
Time spent at each stop reflects the truck's equipment: better-equipped means faster pickup and drop-off.
Incompatible materials
Two materials that must not travel together are never loaded on the same truck, with no manual check.
Vehicle-specific site windows
Time windows that apply to certain vehicles on certain sites only, not the whole fleet.
Container cleaning time
Cleaning time is scheduled automatically when one material follows another that requires it.
Alternative disposal sites
When several disposal sites are possible for a pickup, the optimization keeps the one that serves the route best.
