Dataset of the paper "Scatter Search Algorithm for a Waste Collection Problem in an Argentine Case Study"

This dataset includes the instances used in the paper: Rossit, D.; González Landín, B.; Frutos, M.; Méndez Babey, M. Scatter Search Algorithm for a Waste Collection Problem in an Argentine Case Study. Urban Sci. 2024, 8, 240. https://doi.org/10.3390/urbansci8040240 For each instance/folder there are three files: waste.txt: it includes, from left to right the id, the geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) and the waste generation rate (in cubic meters) per day of each collection point. times.txt: it includes the travelling times (in minutes) between collection points in a from/to table. containers.txt: it includes the description of the bin combinations considered in the paper: id, capacity (in cubic meters), service time (in minutes) and weekly cost (in US$). This file is common to all instances/folders.
