Abstract

Effective construction waste management (CWM) is a key challenge for global sustainable development. In particular, scientific transportation management of municipal construction waste (CW) is also an important way to reduce environmental pressure due to the scarcity of land resources and the lack of landfill facilities in most cities. Based on the hybrid simulation method, this paper implements dynamic regulations and analyzes the effects of different construction waste management policies by applying agent based modeling (ABM) simulation method, and designs transportation plans by loading geographic information system (GIS) data. Construction waste transportation in Shenzhen is taken as an example in which GIS and other required excel data are loaded into AnyLogic simulation software. According to the ABM simulation results, the optimal disposal route of CW transportation is identified. Simulation results show that this method can effectively provide regular path planning for waste transportation, and follow the transportation route stipulated by the traffic regulations of Shenzhen. The findings can also provide a guide for decision making of CW transportation plans.
