File Size Determination for Waste Oil Collection in the Province of Antwerp


Gerrit K. Janssens




A mathematical model is presented to determine the fleet size required to collect waste oil in a region. The model consists of (1) a demand model, estimating the amount of waste oil to be collected and (2) a collection model, estimating the number of route per year to the communities within the region and time required to travel to the waste oil producers, to fill and to empty the truck.
