Geolocalización de eco-tachos para la optimización de rutas de recolectores de basura en los alrededores de mercados municipales de la ciudad de Riobamba.

Abstract

The main objective of this was the geolocation of the eco-bins for the optimization of the routes of the garbage collector collectors in the surroundings of municipal markets in Riobamba city. The project was developed in 3 main stages, to the first stages which correspond to the data collection, the mobile Topographer software was used in order to allow georeferencing a point and obtaining longitude and latitude coordinates that give us a correct location, the information was stored in the platform Firebase and also was used the Real Time Data Base tool which is a database hosted in the cloud that allows information to be manipulated in real time. After that, the heuristic algorithms and algorithms of the closest path were taken as a basis, the stored information was processed through the implementation of algorithms that allow us to estimate the best path, this being the second stage. Finally, in the third stage, a mobile application was designed in a multiplatform framework known as Flutter, developed by Google, as it is a mobile application, it is available to use Google's APIs which allow visualizing the best route through the use of one of the Geographic Information Systems tools such as Mapbox, since they offer maps giving the possibility of being able to graph and customize them for free, without consuming too many resources on the mobile device, thus allowing to visualize the best route of the eco-bins, in this way, resources are optimized for garbage collectors around municipal markets. It is recommended in the future to make an analysis of the use of relational databases to be able to insert more variables, which allows the application to be adapted to other projects and to have an application with more services.
