The number of cardboard containers tobe collected each day will be determined based on a prediction made on the filled volumerecorded in each container. It will be reflected in the cost and fuel savings, reducingemissions and contributing to environmental sustainability. These results will allow planningthe sequence of waste removal, which means the optimal collection route consideringrestrictive parameters such as the type of truck, the location of containers, collection timesby zones, and the availability of working staff.A filling prediction system is proposed based on real historical data provided by the currentwaste collection company in Algeciras (ARCGISA). To achieve this objective, an intelligentsystem is designed using predictive analytics and several methods based on machinelearning, modelling the collection system as a classification model, comparing the resultsfrom a statistical point of view (using sensitivity, specificity, etc.). The results obtained withthe best-tested method indicate an improvement average rate of 26% in sensitivityperformance index and 67% in specificity performance index.Currently, waste collection is carried out without predictive analysis. The relevance of anefficient waste collection system is becoming increasingly important. Achieving optimalwaste collection will result in improved service to citizens, cost savings for theadministration, and significant environmental improvements. PB Universidad de Burgos.
