Modelling of municipal solid waste utilisation market of a resort city

Abstract

The issue is devoted to the method of multi-approach simulation model construction and verification. The model presents the collection, removal and disposal of municipal solid waste of a resort city (on the example of Sochi-city). It allows analysing complex urban system, taking into account a large number of factors and elements of uncertainty, predict the future state of the system, and identify relationships and anomalies. The city management and private companies can use the resulting tool in the preparation of administrative decisions in this socially significant market. The article contains the relevance of the research topic, the definition of the research goal. The choice of multi-approach simulation as a method is substantiated; a cognitive model and flow diagram of the interaction system between the population and the formation of garbage flows are presented. The discrete-event state-chart of the agent-based garbage collection model is also considered, and the model verification procedures performed are demonstrated.
