Selecting the optimal route for municipal waste transportation using the EDAS method

When solving problems related to capital investments in a company, it is necessary to elaborate on the issue in detail and take into account as many influential parameters as possible in order to make the optimal decision. One such problem is the selection of a transfer station and the location of a regional landfill. Once these locations are selected, the next problem that arises is choosing the optimal route for transporting municipal waste from the transfer station to the regional landfill. To successfully solve such complex problems, multi-criteria decision-making methods can be applied.
In this paper, the EDAS method will be applied to select the optimal route for municipal waste transportation.
