阿姆斯特丹，作为荷兰一个人口超过80万的快速发展城市，正在努力进行垃圾收集。虽然城市中的大多数区域都使用地下垃圾桶进行垃圾收集，但历史悠久的Centrum区仍然依靠路边垃圾收集。因此，联合国教科文组织世界遗产运河周围的街道上摆满了垃圾袋，而垃圾车在几个世纪以前建造的道路上行驶，这些道路并不适合这种规模的车辆。本文通过使用地理信息系统工具和整数规划来确定数量和最佳收集位置，同时确保Centrum区居民的步行距离不超过阿姆斯特丹其他区域的居民，评估了将Centrum区垃圾收集迁移至运河，并利用一支拖船和浮动垃圾桶的船队来实现垃圾收集的可行性。此外，本文提出了一种类似于当前卡车系统的计划，以便定期清空浮动垃圾桶。研究结果表明，使用运河进行移动垃圾收集是一种可行的解决方案，可以减少噪音、污染和拥堵，从而改善阿姆斯特丹历史城区的质量。

摘要ABSTRACT

Amsterdam, a growing city of over 800,000 people in the Netherlands, is struggling to collect waste. While residents in most districts of the city use underground bins to deposit their garbage, the historic Centrum district continues to rely on curbside collection. As such, the streets around the UNESCO-World-Heritage canals are lined with garbage bags as trash trucks rumble down roads centuries old and ill-fitted for vehicles of such size. This paper assesses the viability of moving Centrum trash collection to the canals with a fleet of tug boats and floating dumpsters. It does so by using a combination of GIS tools and integer programming to determine the quantity and optimal collection locations while ensuring that an average Centrum resident walks no farther than denizens of the other Amsterdam districts. Additionally, it proposes a schedule for emptying floating dumpsters based on one comparable to the current truck system. The results of this paper suggest that mobile trash collection using the canals is a viable solution that could reduce noise, pollution, and congestion, thus improving the quality of Amsterdam’s historic cityscape.
